About this ebook

'One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade' TIME

Kingdoms collide in the fifth book in the epic, bestselling fantasy series from the author of A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war.

War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. 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.

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, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. 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.

I'm only halfway through. But I feel like I'm reading 50 shades of grey. Had to read reviews to see if anyone else thought the same? I hope my rating goes up by the end. I'm all for the love dovey stuff. But the sex scene is a bit over the top. Hopefully there's only the one. Definately not for juveniles like the genre says it is.

The cringey teenage vibe is overpowering what could have been enjoyable from the story. This book takes you to the stage where you're groaning at every cliche and every two people thrown together somehow discovering they are fated to be together. Each person is somehow incredibly special enough in their mediocrity to stand out as entirely different enough to change the mind of immortal beings who have lived thousands of years. Everyone is falling at each other's feet pledging loyalty and love for no good reason. It's like someone's fantasy of how important they want to be. Terrible.

Great book but seriously... Brutal ending towards your emotions. This book is more romantic compared to the others but nothing can prepare you for that ending. Forget this series for another year and wait for the next book. 4 stars because still well written but didn't care for the sex scenes and there was too many of those in my opinion
