Empire of Storms - Throne of Glass Series #5

I am worn out.  I am literally worn out.  Reading the Empire of Storms exhausted me because it was so packed full of action that I had to mentally prepare myself each time I picked up the book to read.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Throne of Glass series.  Aelin Galathynius is my hero.  She meets her foes head on and for the most part, uses her intuition and wit to figure out her most difficult problems.  But, this poor girl can't catch a break.  There are so many people who would like to kill her, and others who just want to take advantage of her power that Aelin never knows who is safe, and who is her enemy.  Thankfully, she has a small group of trusted friends and advisors who love her enough to die for her.  They also believe in her cause enough to die for it as well.

But what is the history of the fracturing of Erilea, and what does that all have to do with Aelin who was born 1,000 years after the world starting going mad?

If you haven't read book 1 of the series, then you really need to start at the beginning.  Be sure to read the novellas as well.  One needs to know all of the background before one can get an understanding of who Aelin is, and why she is so important to the future - a future that is full of peace.  

I think you will like her as much as I do.
