I can’t believe I almost contemplated skipping this to jump straight to Kingdom of Ash, especially with how empire of storms ended. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, especially knowing that it didn’t have all of the main characters. The story, the lore, the character growth! It makes the Empire of Storms so much richer that I wish I had tandem read them in the first place.

I’ll be honest: when I first realized that we were staying with Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene throughout the book instead of continuing the drama of what last occurred with Aelin and the rest of the gang, I was a little disappointed. Chaol has never been my favorite character and I was dreading having to get through 650 pages of his story. And it did take me a little bit to get into it, but not very long, and then I was hooked. I ended up really enjoying and caring about the new royals introduced, I loved Yrene, and this was such a perfect way of continuing the overall plot but not solely focused on Aelin’s experiences. There was so much hope by the end of it all, then to

have the quick Fireheart chapter at the end to tie you back into Aelin’s story

left me wanting so much more. I cannot wait for the next book and to continue this story.

4.5 stars, a beautiful love story in this fantasy world. I loved the expansion of the world and characters this book had to offer. I preferred it over EOS. I did do the tandem read.
