Welcome back, book lovers! In this episode of Books, Cats, & Chaos, we continue our deep dive into Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, covering chapters 15–21. Expect heated debates, hidden story clues, and plenty of bookish chaos as we analyze character motives, major plot twists, and the underlying themes shaping Celaena’s journey.

What You Can Expect in This Episode:

A Song of Rebellion: The haunting melody performed at Prince Hollin’s welcome celebration is more than just music—it’s a bold, dangerous statement. But why doesn’t the King react?

Roland’s Role: Is Roland a willing conspirator, or just another pawn in the King’s twisted game? His involvement is raising eyebrows, and we have theories.

Nehemia vs. Celaena – A Friendship on the Brink? Nehemia wants Celaena to do more, pushing her to take risks. But is her pressure justified, or is she withholding crucial secrets of her own?

The Eye of Elena Mystery Deepens: Celaena pieces together cryptic clues that could unlock ancient power, but someone seems determined to keep her distracted.

Can Archer Finn Be Trusted? Celaena is playing a dangerous game with the King, but is Archer her ace—or her downfall? His suspicious behavior is making us question everything.

Dorian’s Awakening: A prince with a buried secret. When rage and frustration reach their peak, Dorian’s magic manifests in an explosive way. But how long can he hide it?

The King’s Deadly Game: Death threats, shadowy alliances, and political maneuvering—why does the King want Nehemia gone now? And is Chaol walking into a trap?
