There are way too many reasons as to why it belongs there and why you should read this book too. This book is definitely going onto my favorites’ shelf. I have found that as this series progresses, it gets better and better with each book that Maas rolls out! Her writing, world, and characters improve with each installment and she leaves me craving for more and more. Typically, I find that when I read long series, normally having more than three books, the later books are much weaker than the first ones.

Translation: the book was bloody fantastic and went way above what I had expected. Maas took my expectations and laughed at them as Empire of Storms stomped them into the ground and used them to lift off into space. You think I’m kidding, right? No seriously, do yourself a favor and buckle yourself in for the adventure, it is one fantastic thrill ride! And please keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times! WARNING: When reading this book, I suggest you find a seatbelt and strap yourself to whatever surface you’re reading on. My expectations were pretty high, fueled by the wait and excitement I absolutely love Maas’s work! I was so mad because they’re usually pretty good about getting popular books out on the day of the release, but I ended up finding the book! It was just lying on the help desk, all by itself in a random stack of books, so I grabbed it and bought it. I actually almost didn’t get it that day, because the B&N that I went to didn’t have the books out, even though their computer said it was displayed in the YA section. I was actually driving back to school that day after a long weekend of packing, and I added an extra hour and a half to my drive time so that I could go to Barnes & Noble. I made sure that I got this book the day it was released so that I could read it before the spoilers started pouring out all over the internet. So I’ve been waiting for this book for almost a year and the wait almost killed me. Will Aelin succeed in keeping her world from splintering, or will it all come crashing down?
