BOOK REVIEW – Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #5)
MAJOR SPOILERS Have you asked yourself why Aelin is so forgiving of Elena when she discovers her betrayal? Why she doesn’t rip her ancestor limb from limb for her atrocities, which would be very characteristic of the FMC? It’s because Aelin would’ve done the same.
