Synopsis (Goodreads):

Sarah J. Maas’s New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series reaches new heights in this sweeping fourth volume.

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire-for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past…

She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.

She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen’s triumphant return.

Celaena’s epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena’s story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.

Review:

This series just keeps getting better and better! The first book was good, but I was a little unsure how the story would develop in a complex and intriguing way! But boy am I surprised by how amazingly complex the development of this story is! Maas is able to weave so many intricate details together, and I find myself falling in love with all the characters!

We get to see Aelin and Rowan’s relationship as carranum (I think that’s how you spell it?) develop, as well as learn a little more about the backstory behind Chaol. We also get to know Manon a bit more, and I’m starting to love her character! Can’t wait to read Empire of Storms! It is hard to say more without spoiling anything (I find it really hard to review books later in a series, because I don’t want to spoil anything for people who have not read the series yet) so I am going to end my review now.

Happy reading bookworms!
