5/29/2023 0 Comments Empire of storms book![]() ![]() The real fun in the books, for me at least, comes from Aelin's surrounding cast of characters. ![]() ![]() Things that annoy me about Aelin continue to annoy me - she makes really key decisions without informing or soliciting advice from her much more seasoned travel companions/court, but a reveal at the end made Aelin a more compelling character (although still, girl, COMMUNICATE). The action is fairly constant, and the characters continue to develop and act in ways consistent with their current development. I was kind of expecting to not like this book as I seem to only like every other Throne of Glass book (I really like 2 and 4 and didn't care much for 1 and 3), but this entry in the series defied my expectations in a good way. So Aelin and her merry band of heroes (well, some of them are pretty angsty, actually) depart to get support from Aelin's old "friend", the Pirate Lord Rolfe. The kind of support that comes from pirates. After defeating and destroying the King of Alderan, Aelin travels to Terrasen, and after receiving no help or support from the various Dukes/Earls or whatever, Aelin opts for some different kind of support. At the beginning of EoS, most of our heroes are together after the events that unfolded at Rifthold, and, to a lesser extent, Morath. ![]() Book 5 (Empire of Storms hereafter EoS) picks up right where book 4 left off, and the action quickly ramps up. ![]()
