Kingdoms collide in this fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series. The only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may take more from Aelin than she has to give, a quest that forces her to choose what-and who-she's willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. 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 increasingly 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. War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. As I said, it adds some spice and thrill to the characters.Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war. Unlike ACOTAR that I think is considered as NA fantasy already (?) and is also more of centered to romance and healing plot that after reading the sex scenes you'll feel like you were scandalized on how detailed it was written and how wild it was that you think you have to cleanse your mind and soul after LMFAO. And also I think its a YA Fantasy so I understand, a little warning would be nice for young and sensitive readers. It was written beautifully that its not even uncomfortable to read. And that beach scene between Rowan and Aelin it wasn't even THAT explicit. And besides there's not much of sex scenes anyway. It was never really centered to heavily romance plot so sex scenes are quite ahmmm. From the very beginning to the last its all about adventure and powers and killings and surviving etc. Many readers (including myself) recommend reading these books together to get the optional reading experience. However, I believe that TOG books are a different kind of books. The Tower of Dawn/Empire of Storm s Tandem Reading Guide In the Throne of Glass series, two books occur in the same time but in different locations: Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. It actually add some spice and thrill for me. I'm not against sex scenes or how explicit it maybe. Damn I am soooo late to this discussion LOL but whatever, this is my thoughts anyway.

Empire of storms series in order
