Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense fast-paced

4.0

Trust the tandem read process. It might seem like a lot of work at first but oh wow, this is how these events need to unfold. Empire of Storms definitely carries the dead weight of Tower of Dawn, which isn't bad per se, but I cannot imagine reading it after the excitement of EoS. Maybe it's just because EoS had all the key players and ToD just had Chaol, bringing in the new characters, but I definitely would have been bored reading it separately from EoS. 

Ok, jumping immediately into Kingdom of Ash now ....
