Book Review: Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J. Maas

Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J. Maas

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 New York Times bestselling 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.

Empire of Storms was so good! My favorite (so far) from the series. It's Aelin at her best, being all Queen.

There were so many things happening I don't know where to start. For Aelin, nothing is simple, and her journey to her kingdom isn't the exception. Not everyone is waiting for her. But there are other things that are more important than that, there is war coming and we don't know Maeve's plans. A war they aren't prepared.

Erawan's forces are strong and Aelin needs to knock on some doors to get help. And she's still planning to reunite the Wyrd keys...

I was waiting to see Aelin and Rowan together, and wow! It was better than I imagined. I knew it was going to be epic! But the end, so cruel, it broke my heart. Aelin will suffer so much more. And for now, I will suffer for her, while reading the next book Tower of Dawn, which is Chaol's story.
