Hello Gremlins! Today we are diving deeper into the void talking about *Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas.* We are at the at the penultimate book of the series. Has our opinion changed? What do we…
You know, this book was one of those books that was very...
For us, just like so...
It washes over you.
Yes.
I was like, wow.
Because so much happens,
but yet I don't remember what
happens.
See, so much happened and yet nothing happened all at the same time.
I feel like that is my problem with a lot of Sarah J. Maas' books is she has this very...
Standard.
Very standard fantasy way of writing where it's this long, beautiful, very prose-filled explanation of descriptors of things that should be happening almost.
Yeah.
And then, like, once we get there, it just kind of, like, wraps up in, like, a very, very quick button.
And then we don't really talk about it again until, like, it comes up again.
And then you're like, oh, yeah, I do... guess i remember that kind of vaguely happening it was like suggested yeah but also like there was so much stuff to sift through that it makes it difficult to like soak into my brain for some
reason because that's also you're following so many characters and you're following because we had a lead in lorkhan uh uh dorian and manon and their stuff yes So we're following so many characters.
So we're following Alide and Lorkhan in their side quest.
We're following Dorian and Manon in their side quest.
We're following Aelin and Rowan and Lysandra in their side quest with Aedian.
And then we're also following Maeve a little bit.
And then we're also following Gavriel.
Yeah, Gavriel and...
I think his name starts with an L. Lorcan's with a lead.
There's another one.
