Book Review: Empire of Storms


“A court that wouldn't just change the world. It would start the world over.”

A beautiful story full of love and redemption. The journey of Aelin and her friends towards the ultimate war.

SYNOPSIS

Kingdoms will collide.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don't.

With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side, and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.

In this breathtaking fifth installment of the Throne of Glass series, Aelin will have to choose what—and who—to sacrifice if she's to keep the world of Erilea from breaking apart.

REVIEW

This book is one of very few multiple POVs favourites. Generally the switch between the POV is too abrupt, or the other characters are just not that interesting. But in this book each character's journey and adventures held my complete attention.

People usually don't like Lorcan, but I think Lorcan and Elide's relationship was adorable. It was like the big bad wolf fell for the sweet innocent girl, but the girl was not afraid of putting him back in his place.

I am absolutely in love with Manon , who supposedly does not care about anyone. She is such a badass! Her relationship with Dorian is just amazing.

Best part of all was that we get to see all of Aelin's powers and her terrifyingly charming assassin side.

All in all, it was a wonderful book with a heartbreaking build up and some unexpected yet awesome friendships.

My Rating: 4.5/5

Author: Sarah J. Maas

Followed by: Tower of Dawn
