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!

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.

Again: Did a Tandem read so some of this might be from "Empire of Storms" or "tower of dawn". A woman has a stillborn birth, and for the "failure" of that she is branded and left for dead. Another woman is whipped and imprisoned inside a box.
