Empire of Storms is the fifth book in the bestselling Throne of Glass series. It is not a stand alone novel: the reader needs the extensive character and plot background presented in the earlier books in this epic fantasy series. In Empire of Storms, Aelin continues the long path to the throne. Those who possess magic are in conflict with those who do not. Conflict rages over loyalties. Friendships are broken. Aelin and Rowan’s relationship is displayed in fairly several racy love scenes. The story is told in multiple point of view, which makes for interesting reading.
Recommended only for high school and up due to the sex scenes.
