Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn Tandem

100% read EOS and TOD together in the tandem read! It is supremely optimal! These books flow together perfectly. I can’t imagine ever reading them consecutively. Especially because TOD can be dull compared to all that happens in EOS. Not to say TOD isn’t a worthy read because it definitely is, but if I read it on its own, I know it wouldn’t be rated as highly.

So many relationships were forged in these two books, so many battles, so much plotting and scheming. Both books together are the most pleasurable reading experience.

We are at the pinnacle of Throne of Glass. So much happened in these books, in the entire series up to this point—bring on Kingdom of Ash!

I did a tandem read with Tower Of Dawn. I think because of that I found this book to be slower. It definitely picked up pace during the latter half and it held the mote interesting viewpoints.

it's interesting to see that Aelin NEVER learns - as a reader, it was extremely frustrating to

see her refuse to share her plans

but at the same time

her not telling because she was unaware of if they would come through and thus didnt want to disappoint

was relatable. At the end of the day, shes just a kid whos been thrust into a position of power when this was a world she wasnt a part of growing up... Suddenly in the space of a year(?) shes a fireheart, shes the treasured heir, shes got a hottie fae prince?? her entire life was in upheavel.

Lo amé, todavía lloro por todo lo que paso en los últimos capítulos, terminó tremendo.

Hubieron muchos giros y secretos que se fueron llevando a cabo del final:

Primero esta la relación entre Lorcan y Elide la cual me llamo muchísimo la atención al inicio y me gustaba como se trataban ambos, de verdad me gustaron, PERO QUE PASO, lloro por la última escena que tuvieron, no puedo creer que Lorcan haya llamado a Maeve, pero lo que más me duele es que se arrepintió muchísimo pero porque acaba de suceder todxs están resentidos con él. De verdad me pone mal.

Luego esta la relación entre Aelin y Rowan, amo, los amo bastante. Me gusta que los vemos tener una relación más cercana, no solo sentimentalmente, sino que también hay escenas muy interesantes físicamente y obvio su matrimonio (del cual ahora se sabe muy poco por ahora).
Igual algo me decepciona un poco que Aelin le tenía secretos hasta a Rowan, la entendía y era definitivamente para que el final fuera más sorprendente pero me dolió un poco.

Dorian y Manon, tremendoooo, ya los amo, quiero más de ellos, con más escenas bonitas y también calenturientas.

Aedion todavía me frustra un poco por ser tan impaciente y explosivo, pero lo quiero, a Lysandra la adoro, quiero más de ella y sus perspectivas junto a Aedion porque se complementan.

A Fenrys y Gavriel los conocemos mucho más en este libro, me emociona saber que pasará más adelante pero estoy nerviosa.

Al final todo quedo intenso pero como dije, los secretos se revelaron, los del pasado junto a los de Aelin, estoy mega emocionada por el próximo libro y todas las aventuras que les esperan a los personajes de ToG.
