That was a really great slow burn romance, and it was also wonderful to see the evolution of Elide's character. I love the bond between her and Manon, and yes- can't wait to see what comes out of the reveal about the latter's heritage.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-77213984857986653672016-10-15T07:25:19.587-04:002016-10-15T07:25:19.587-04:00I just finished reading this! And I agree that it ...I just finished reading this! And I agree that it has slowly moved away from Aelin as the sole focus, which I'm actually really glad about. I really didn't like Aelin in this book, I felt really disconnected from her and I really hated that she kept so many secrets from EVERYONE. <br /><br />I agree, Mannon was pretty cool in this. I've really enjoyed watching her character growth in this series. I'm really excited to see what happens with her story line after her heritage has been revealed! I also really, really liked Elide's chapters, I think perhaps because her 'romance' was only just starting in this book. But it was really jarring seeing Lorcan in a better light and starting to like him.<br /><br /><a href="www.simplyadrift.com" rel="nofollow">Jordon @ Simply Adrift</a>Jordon @ Simply Adrifthttp://www.simplyadrift.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-37024666269953054072016-10-06T23:24:48.473-04:002016-10-06T23:24:48.473-04:00I can't believe it's been this long, eithe...I can't believe it's been this long, either! I'm happy that you're still blogging, too! I'm not great at sticking with something after starting it, so this is a new record for me, lol.<br /><br />I knew it was going to take me a while to read EoS because of the page count alone, but then real life got in the way, too. I feel like the series has gradually shifted from Celaena/Aelin as the sole focus and has really moved some of the other characters into the spotlight, like Manon and Elide. I loved Manon's story line in this one!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-47211858416010726042016-10-03T01:05:14.197-04:002016-10-03T01:05:14.197-04:00Ahhh Empire of Storms took me over two weeks to fi...Ahhh Empire of Storms took me over two weeks to finish lol. It was so big! I really enjoyed Elide's chapters the most, and then Mannon's chapters. I didn't really like Aelin's chapters that much though, I felt so disconnected from her... Like I didn't really like her at all. So the ending wasn't heart breaking for me. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all I think! But I'm glad there's only one more book to go!<br /><br />1000th post?! Wow that's awesome! You've been going really well with Rally the Readers. Can't believe it's been so long now!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.simplyadrift.com" rel="nofollow">Jordon @ Simply Adrift</a>Jordon @ Simply Adrifthttp://www.simplyadrift.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-67388525457790227562016-10-02T19:34:31.345-04:002016-10-02T19:34:31.345-04:00Thank you! :D OMG, I so hear you on real life ge...Thank you! :D OMG, I so hear you on real life getting in the way of reading EoS!

Cheers to 1000 more *clinks glass*<br />I've been wondering about trying the ToG series - I hear that the later books are much better than the first few, I just don't know if I'd have the patience to get through the first ones.<br /><br />Ellie | <a href="http://ontheothersideofrealitynew.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">On the Other Side of Reality</a><br />Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016450998401859766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-69242248259945606902016-10-01T23:08:30.954-04:002016-10-01T23:08:30.954-04:00Happy 1000th post!!!
