This book was so crazy. I read this one and Tower of Dawn in tandem, and the only reason why I think this book isn’t five stars for me is because of the tandem read? I don’t know reading both of them slowed me down and kind of confused me. This book was still fabulous though. The beginning was definitely a little slow, but the end was mind blowing. Another thing I loved about this book was that it really tied everything together? It was just crazy to see how all the loose ends and different povs throughout the series kind of came together in this book.

This book might be the best one out of the series, it is definitely in the top 3 of the best book in this series. I really liked it. Such a good book.

It took me a while to finish but this book was worth the read. A perfect follow-up to Queen of Shadows! 

Empire of Storms left me on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it. And I don’t think I will ever forgive Sarah J Maas for what she did to me in the last 100 pages.

Every plot twist was planned out perfectly. Constantly, I went “Oh my god, of course!”

Absolutely genius!

Keep in mind that this is a problematic author and I’m reading this from a library outlet so I’m not profiting SJM. SJM is a racist, Zionist, and ableist but unfortunately she does know how to develop a morally grey mc. All in all, I change my mind, this is my favorite in the series. I absolutely love Aelin and her wits in this book.The end also broke me a little. I usually don’t like slower paced fantasy novels this one I liked. I would’ve gave it a higher rating if not for some out-of-character and negative themes that are perpetuated in this novel and the entire series.

 My soul is crushed now. I'm so scared for the characters and what'll happen next. I literally cried at work after finishing this.
