I think I liked this one more than some of the others, not the best one tho. Maybe that'll change as I read on but I found the new POVs nice and I liked when characters were more spread across the world. More classic "Aelin did shit in the background that you don't find out until later" nonsense, but at least I saw the "Nameless" one coming.

Also, lol, so much sex compared to any of the other books.

I read this in Tandem with Tower of Dawn. And I am SOOO glad I did! If I had to read TOD between this book & KOA, I would have died! & not enjoyed TOD, cause I’d be obsessing over what’s gonna happen with the characters in this book!
This book was sooo good! I love being able to read from all the different characters POV’s. 
I love all the couples & am so thoroughly enjoying them to settle in with eachother. The dynamics between the different couples are just amazing!! But Aelin & Rowan are still my favorite! 
But, all the revelations at the end, I AM NOT OKAY WITH THEM!!! This story really can’t end the way it’s leading to!! There has to be another way! I am not okay with that!

I think I've said this every book, but THE BEST ONE yet. I get emotional when I read, but it takes a lot for me to actually CRY. Ever since reading ACOTAR, I knew that there would be a point where I cried in this series and I was waiting for it. IT HAPPENED HERE.

You would never catch me dead doing the tandem read *sorry* but I do understand why that is appealing to people based on where this book leaves off. BUT, since I know what Tower of Dawn is about, I was already mentally prepared to be left on a cliffhanger for another book and I am okay with that.

(full review maybe coming soon but these are my initial thoughts once finishing)

again. aelin is doing all of this and no one puts 2 and 2 together. i think ms. maas wants us to think that aelin is some sort of super genius for all of this, but it just makes me think that everyone else is an idiot.

also fireheart this fireheart that, is aelin the leader of thunderclan? is rowan her graystripe or her sandstorm? too many questions.....

this is honestly so ridiculous and unbelievable how is she doing all this. next thing is harry potter is gonna apparate in the next book and say that he owes aelin a life debt too.

  also kinda shitty of lorcan to do that but he's hot so i would maybe forgive him.

Did a Tandem read
which i highly recommend because tower of dawn is alittle slow
, so this is for both "Empire of Storms" and "tower of dawn".  A great story that ends on a cliff hanger
that breaks your heart
there is so much left to do for there being only one book left im not sure how I feel about it.
