Aelin and Rowan’s relationship really grows in this book along with Manon and Dorian’s relationship. There is many somewhat explicit sex scenes. Empire of Storms, however, is in the New Adult genre which is typically more appropriate for older teens and up.
The Young Adult genre covers from around 14/15 years old and up. The first four books in this series were plainly Young Adult. Maas is infamous for swapping up genres in the middle of a series. However, I think it’s important to talk about which genre this is appropriate for.
There’s a ton of character and relationship development throughout this book which is something I think Maas does very well. I have no complaints with any of the characters and I love them all either for how wonderful they are or how completely evil they are. We also get to see much more of Maeve’s cadre: Lorcan, Gavriel and Fenrys. Elide, Manon and Lysandra have much bigger roles in this book and I loved getting to know them. All of the characters from the previous book are back in this one, except for Chaol and Nesryn but from what I understand they play a large role in the sixth book, Tower of Dawn. There really was no break in the action and I LOVED it. There is almost constant battles, enemies, daring escapes and secret plots. Empire of Storms, however, kicked off the action in the first chapter and Did. I mentioned in my review for Queen of Shadows, book four, that it was mostly slow paced except for the last 25% of the book and then it had a fairly happy ending. 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. 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 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. I’ll let you know the synopsis and then we’ll get into what I think about this book. This isn’t really going to be an in depth review just because of how huge this book is but I’ll be sharing my general thoughts. This book was a massive read with 75 chapters so a lot happened, obviously. This is my first review of 2019 and I couldn’t be happier that it’s for book five in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J.
