But that's not to say that Tower of Dawn is boring. The characters are great, the world described is almost even more beautiful and a lot is discovered, which is super relevant for the entire plot. As a reader, you're constantly left thinking: wow, if only the others knew!!! The book simply has a super pleasant feel-good factor, so many characters are able to realise personal boundaries and are super comforting.

Will someone die? At the moment I'm very confident that there will be a happy ending for all the main characters; whenever things have been dicey for the lives of individuals, they've been saved after all. You can probably tell from this that it's still a young adult book, but maybe that will change in the final part and we'll lose a few cool characters?

Will Aelin be freed? How well does Lysandra play her role? Will the secret be revealed to the characters from Tower of Dawn? Will Manon find the Chrocheans?

At the same time, in Empire of Storms, Aelin manages to raise an army and save herself from situations that seemed hopeless. It's really impressive how the smallest incidents, meetings and details from previous books are taken up again and have such a strong influence on the outcome of the plot. I am now very curious to see how the series will find its finale.

I read the two books in tandem - which I can highly recommend! While Tower of Dawn introduces a lot of new people and places, which Sara J Maas really took her time to do, Empire of Storms has a lot happening super fast and in quick succession. So it's a nice change to switch between the books.
