4.5

The ONLY reason I did not give this book a 5 star rating is because the majority of the book was very slow. Of course in Sarah J Maas fashion, the last 100 pages were INSANE!!! I was literally talking out loud to myself because I was in such disbelief. There was NO WAY I could have predicted what happened in the end. I have to read the last part of Tower of Dawn in order to finish the tandem read, but WOW. What another great installment in the Throne of Glass series. All I can say is screw Lorcan and Maeve!!! Aelin is the strongest character I have EVER known in any series, and that is an understatement. I cannot even imagine what SJM has in store for the last bit of TOD and Kingdom of Ash!!!!! WOW!!!!

I picked this up to continue in my reading of the Throne of Glass series.
"Empire of Storms" picks up right after the conclusion of "Quenn of Shadows". Aelin Galathynius wants to take her rightful spot on the throne, but she still has a lot of work to do before that can happen. She has sworn her heart to the prince, and promised to save her people, but everything becomes more complicated when new monsters emerge.
As this series goes on, I am liking it less and less. I do not know if I just missed something earlier on or if this is just not the fantasy series for me. I did really enjoy "Throne of Glass", but something has been missing for me since then. Despite the high stakes, I was never invested in this story. I have lost my love for the characters and I do not care what is happening.
I really want to finish this series, so I will be continuing, but I am not exactly "excited" to pick up "Tower of Dawn".
