Cat’s comments from the Empire of Storms Read along group.

Erawan's creatures are so FREAKING CREEPY. they gave me chills every time they were described. also, I really hate Maeve. can she like, just not exist? thanks.

also yes, I do miss Celaena. so much. I never realized with the other books but it was evident to me with this one: I can't relate to Aelin. I feel like she has become a totally one dimensional character. there's nothing more to her than rowan and wanting the kingdom. Calaena liked chocolate cake, and her dog, and hated running etc

basically agree with everything you guys said. something to add: Manon is by far my favourite thing about this series. her chapters in part one were my favourite and it made the whole thing bearable (I really didn't like part one). at this point I was also very sick of aelin and rowan already. they're too much. yes, I get it. you love each other. now onto with the plot. I think this was pretty much the point where I realized I prefer Celaena much more than Aelin

so, here's what I thought:

1. was very confused with the first chapter with Aelin and Rowan because I don't think I really comprehended how magic worked in that world until then. example, I didn't knew people had somewhat the same abilities but one special power/affinity with an element (Aelin, fire; Rowan, wind; Dorian, ice). it took me a while to understand how Aelin was playing with the water

2. already feel like this book is going to be way more filled with politics than I would like

3. not really feeling the need for everyone to have a (straight) relationship. not sure why Elide and Lorcan had to be paired together, since Elide and Manon CLEARLY had some kind of chemistry going on in QoS. it feels forced to me and I'm -50 interested in that relationship. but I guess my disliking for Lorcan isn't really helping on his case either

4. do all Aelin/Rowan chapters have to have them proclame their love for each other as the most ardent and strong love in all literature's history? urgh

as you can see, I'm not really convinced by the book so far. it's taking me forever to read it and, more worrying, enjoying it

sounds good :D

hello hello!

I seriously don't know what to expect from this book. the only thing I'm almost sure is that Rowan and Aelin are going to have sex :v
