Book Review: Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
Empire of Storms is the sixth book in the Throne of Glass fantasy series written by Sarah J. Maas. I don’t want to write a review because this entry is so far into the series that if you’re reading this book you are already invested. This one does not disappoint. It might be one of my favorites but I like them all. Just read them. Read this. Instead of a review I am just going to share a selection of snippets from the book. SPOILERS ABOUND!
