I loved the continued character development of most characters. A lot of this review also contains EoS specific spoilers, so I’ve organised all of these into the end of the post, so the beginning is still spoiler-free! This review will contain spoilers for all books in the series preceding Empire of Storms – for posts about the other books, see my previous reviews here and here.


It’s fair to say I was very excited for this book, and Empire of Storms was not a disappointment.

Since then, I read her other series A Court of Thorns and Roses and loved them just as much. When I finished reading the Throne of Glass series in May, I immediately pre-ordered Empire of Storms. Kingdoms collide in this fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.Out of the fifty-one books I’ve read this year so far, eight have been by Sarah J Maas, one I’ve already re-read. The only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may take more from Aelin than she has to give, a quest that forces her to choose what-and who-she’s willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves increasingly at odds with those who don’t.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war.
