Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
June 1-October 1
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don’t.
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. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.
In this breathtaking fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, Aelin will have to choose what—and who—to sacrifice if she’s to keep the world of Erilea from breaking apart.
Review:Review : Another great book in this series I loved this one it was action packed and so crazy till the very end . Aelin and her court are looking for ways to stop erawan . I loved the different POV in this book. I loved the slow burn with Aedion and lysandra . And of course I love Rowan and Aelin that scene on the beach wow . And mannon and Dorian also wow . Mannon saved Dorian again and put her 13 at risk and we find out that mannon is queen of the crockans. Some familiar faces from assassins blade books Rolphe and Ansel . Ansel got word from aelin and we find out she tried to get her out of endovier. The eye of ellena we find out is a portal to the past and Mannon and aelin need to use it . I also loved Lorcan and Elide they were and interesting together as they traveled and they found aelin . The two other men Gavriel and fenrys were sent to kill Lorcan . Gavriel finally meets his son Aedian and well Aedian is pissed as he has a right to be . Maeve shows up
Elena tells Aelin the plan and what she needs to do she is sent right to Maeve . Maeve took Elide . Maeve takes Aelin . We find our Rowan and Aelin are mates. Aelin slipped Mannon the two keys . Rowan shows up looking for Aelin they got married . Lysandra plans to shift into Aelin to pretend to be her cause no one can know she’s been taken . Rowan plans on finding Aelin . I loved this book
Quotes : “It is not such a hard thing, is it – to die for your friends.”
You will find, Rolfe, that one does not deal with Celaena Sardothien. One survives her”
Aelin Galathynius had raised an army not just to challenge Morath, but to rattle the stars.”
Where is Aelin.
Where is my wife?”
And tell Rowan,” Aelin said, fighting her own sob, “that I’m sorry I lied. But tell him it was all borrowed time anyway. Even before today, I knew it was all just borrowed time, but I still wish we’d had more of it.” She fought past her trembling mouth. “Tell him he has to fight. He must save Terrasen, and remember the vows he made to me. And tell him . . . tell him thank you—for walking that dark path with me back to the light.”
“I’ll make one more promise,” she said, folding her bloodied hand into a fist as she lowered it before them. Darrow tensed.
Her blood dripped onto the sacred soil of Terrasen, and her smile turned lethal. Even Aedion held his breath beside her.
Aelin said, “I promise you that no matter how far I go, no matter the cost, when you call for my aid, I will come. I promise you on my blood, on my family’s name, that I will not turn my back on Terrasen as you have turned your back on me. I promise you, Darrow, that when the day comes and you crawl for my help, I will put my kingdom before my pride and not kill you for this. I think the true punishment will be seeing me on the throne for the rest of your miserable life.”
I am going to find the Crochans. And I am going to raise an army with them. For Aelin Galathynius. And her people. And for ours
