A review by kaseyd13
Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
I did the tandem read with this novel, and that made me so much more invested in this series than previous books did. Shit really hit the fan in this book, and *phew* I don't think I'll emotionally recover from it. There will be spoilers in this review, so be warned.
For starters:
1. FUCK DARROW AND ISKRA. Iskra is such a bitch. Like I get it. That's how Ironteeth are, but still fuck her. As for Darrow, get off your fucking high horse. Aelin has done more for Erilea in the last month than you have for the last ten damn years. Let her be queen. THINGS COULD HAVE GONE A LOT SMOOTHER IF YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OVER YOURSELF. DICK.
2. I will die for Manon & Abraxos. Need I say more?
3. Same for Aedion. If anything happens to him, Manon, or Abraxos, SJM will be receiving my therapy bills.
4. If Aedion and Lysandra don't get a HPE, I'll riot. The two of them have been through so much shit together it has literally made my heart hurt. I really hope they can repair their relationship after that meltdown on the beach. I hope Aedion has time to see Lysandra has made the biggest sacrifice out of anyone for a country that she's never been to. SHE IS LITERALLY GIVING UP HER LIFE TO BE AELIN. UGH.
5. Fenrys. I love him. I love his snark. I. Love. Him. *send tweet*
6. Lorcan x Elide FOREVER. I totally saw Elide working through his cold, brooding, tough guy exterior. Was I annoyed that he got cockblocked by invading ilken? FUCK YES I WAS. UGH, Don't do that to me, SJM!!!
7. Speaking of spice...this book was so horny. Do not mistake that for a complaint. I thought this was YA, and boy was I SO HAPPY to see that she snuck in some spice. But like, seriously, the tension from QoS finally delivered here. Aelin and Rowan in Skulls Bay...
