Kingdoms collide in Sarah J. Maas’s epic fifth installment in the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don’t.
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. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.
In this breathtaking fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, Aelin will have to choose what -- and who -- to sacrifice if she's to keep the world of Erilea from breaking apart.
Aelin Galathynius must pull together an army in order to defeat an approaching, cataclysmic event in the fifth installment of the Throne of Glass series.
Amazing. I seriously love every single thing about this book. To start, the plot and setting expands to incorporate a global view of the brewing war. Each story line is evenly divided between the various narrators. And let's slow clap to all of the incredibly daring and intelligent women in this novel. Aelin, Mannon, Elide, Lysandra - all of these women's arcs are extraordinarily written. The men provide an intelligence and power to the narrative, but they never usurp the women's power and intelligence. My one complaint lies with the world building. Previous novels should have spent more time building up a knowledge of the gods and goddesses of the world. I should not feel confused every time a god (or goddess) is mentioned, trying to remember if they existed outside of this one book.
tl;dr If you have enjoyed the series up to this point, you will not be disappointed in this installment.
