Empire of Storms

Sarah J. Maas

4.56 AVERAGE


Best in the series so far, but my problem with the ToG series is the all-overness of the plot. I think Maas did not plan this series to be this long, so she had to branch out a lot, which sometimes causes the plot to lose focus. My favorite characters are Manon and Dorian. The rest sounds and feels like the same character. Aelin was too cocky, too arrogant here, so her power was a bit forced.
adventurous dark emotional reflective tense

Not surprised to rate this 5 stars. Heart is in shambles though. Going to take me a minute to pick up the pieces from this one, but I must keep on going. 
adventurous hopeful mysterious medium-paced

Liked it better as it went. Improved writing for this book. Less writing habits that annoyed me like repeated same word twice. Spicy scenes improved/less cringe. Strength in action scenes still. Good reveals but maybe too many at once? Liked that even if I had an inkling of a reveal to come I completely forgot about it cuz of other details. Good story building.
