Review post

Blog

In this blog I underline and state the name of the book multiple times. Along with that, I make a prediction in the blog too. Later in the prediction on what is going to happen next.  I then analyze the difference with Celaena from book one to book two. Later I do multiple connections from the book to world, and text to text.

 

For next trimester, my goal is to read 2 books that tri. Along with that I need to blog each week with the book I’m reading. I also need to start writing a lot more. That is probably my biggest weakness. To improve my reading I can start reading on more of a day to day basis, to get into habit. For writing, I should try to write a lot more things, and review over them to make sure they are correct and make sense.

Theme

The theme in this story-Without friends, many obstacles in life can be very difficult.

Summary

Throughout this book, Celaena has had lots of obstacles to overcome. Many were because she was the King's Assassin, but for a few, they were because of castle mysteries. She had to encounter many hardships throughout and even though there were many problems, her friends stayed with her. At the end she saves her friend's life. In return, he negotiates a deal that even though he doesn't favor it, it helps Caleana get out a lot of trouble.

End Post

I have finally finished my book. My prediction was part right, and part wrong. I can't say what was right and what was wrong because I dont want to spoil the book. I am glad that they left room to make another book in the series. If they make another book, then I will definitly read it.

Post #11

Right now I'm towards the end of the book. Celena used the Wyrdmarks to open a portal to see her dead friend. It had worked the first time, but not this time. This time a monster entered from the portal. Now Celaena is trying to fight off the monster with her friends, Chaol, Prince Dorian, and her dog. They were about to defeat it, but then it saw the dog was injured, so it grabbed it and went back into the portal. Chaol dives into the the protal after him. I predict that Chaol will die and Celaena will rush in, destroy everything, and save her dog.

So far they are still fighting the monster, but it seems like they are going to escape safely.

I would really recommend this series if you like, action, mystery, magic, romance, and if you like a really good page turner. I would give this book, a 4.5 out of 5.

Now Celaena and her friends are in big trouble. They accidentally opened a Wyrdmark portal and now are fighting a big monster. A Wyrdmark is a magical symbol in this book, it is a ancient source of magic. In this case, they accidentally opened a portal. I predict that hopefully they make it out of this alive, because I really hope there is another book in the series.

Prince Dorian- Character review

Prince Dorian- He is a very cocky, but a responsible guy. He knows his role in the kingdom and acccepts it. In the first book, he was always around Celaena when he could and it was very evident that he liked her.Though after awhile he soon found out that Celaena did not share his feelings. Now in the second book he is trying to get over her. It is very evident that he is having a tough time getting over her because he keeps seeing her everywhere. I predict that eventually towards the end of the book he will finally get over her and get back on track with the important things, but for now, he is still struggling through it.

As of now, I do not believe that Archer is involved in any rebellion. That is also because Celaena plain out told him to confess and either way she would fake his death and let him escape. She is mainly trying to get any information about the real rebels out of him so she can stop it. Another thing that is going on in the castle is there's a great mysterious creature that has been lurking in the Kingdom. Many people have been wondering what is is and where it came from. Know Celaena, I would have to predict that she is going to go to the library, where she first saw it, and try to figure out where it came from.

Celaena is now trying to figure out if Archer has anything to do with the conspiracy. I predict that he is going to be involved because many people do not like the king and hes is an assassin. Also at this point in the story, i am seeing a new part of Celaena, she is very easy going, nice, and opens up now, But that is only to Chaol. She has already confessed some pretty deep things and whenever he has a question, she seems to easily just answer his question without having to argue or be angry.

There's a new character coming into the story. Archer, he is believed to be plotting to overthrow the King and the King's plans. Celaena is then ordered to find Archer, get information on his plans, and kill him. There is just one problem, Celaena knows Archer from the past. They both use to train at the same assassin headquarters. She doesn't believe that he would be up to something that dangerous. So she gets permission to have one month to find him. If she can, she will try to fake his death so that he can escape somewhere safe. That is as long as he is innocent. If he is guilty to these plot to overthrow the King, she might have to actually kill him...

In this book, there's more tension being created. Chaol, the captain of the guards and Celaena are starting to have a mutual love interest going on. Which shouldn't be going on because they are both different castle workers. One is the Captain guard of the King, the other is the King's assassin. I predict that even though they shouldn't, they are going to start getting more and more into a relationship. If they do, they are going to have to keep it a secret or else they both might find themselves in a lot of trouble.

I have read on into my book, it is getting a lot more mysterious and dangerous. There seems to be something dangerous lurking throughout the castle, but nobody knows what. If I had to make a prediction, I would say that the King is somehow making a monster to fight in his army. That also raises the question of, if he made a monster, who knows how many more he could've built. I will have to read on to find out if my prediction is right.

      My book, Crown of Midnight is a very interesting book. It is the sequel to Throne of Glass. Celaena has become the King's Champion. I predict that she is going to have to do some pretty horrible things considering she is the King's Champion. Being the King's champion means she has to kill whoever the king wants to be killed. One of my first questions that came to mind was the way Caleana was acting. In the first book she acted like a so called "Tough person," but on the inside she was just like everyone else; But in the second book, she is acting really strange, she seems to just kill, and sort of like it. I'm thinking that she is just acting like that in front of the King so that there wont be any questions on if she did the job. I will have to read more to find out. A text to world connection that I made, within the story, the King uses the King's Champion, and armies to kill people and get land. Although I dont think that kings and presidents now and day have assassins, they do have armies to kill and get land. My text to text connection is that in The Hunger Games Katniss gets picked and has to fight for her freedom. In Crown of Midnight, Ceaena has to do the King's dirty work to get her freedom.
