Crown of Midnight is the second installment of the Throne of Glass series. The second book picks up right where the first left off, and it gets even better. This novel follows Celaena as she navigates being the King’s Assassin and having to make hard decisions. Her relationships with Dorian and Chaol especially become a little rocky as she has to do things she isn’t proud of. A particularly difficult event leaves friendships strained, but Celaena has to push through to fight for what she believes in.

Spy School at Sea is simply mind-blowing! This book has a lot of factors which affect the plot of the story, ranging from the characters from previous books to dangerous natural hazards! Another reason I love this book is because the book will test Ben’s bonds with his fellow spy mates and will also test Ben’s ability to solve this case with extraneous factors!

The Selection by Kiera Cass is one of my all-time favorite books. It tells the story of a dystopian society in which what used to be the United States is known as Illea. There is a caste system that regulates the wealth people have the jobs they possess. America Singer, a young girl living as a Five, gets randomly selected to compete in a competition for the Crown Prince Maxon’s heart. However, all she wants to do is stay home with who she thinks is the love of her life, Aspen, who happens to be a caste beneath her.
