A review by arcadeofbooks
Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas

3.0

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.
