This was worth the hype! It was way more emotional than I was expecting. This was outside of my normal genres and I still thought it was amazing.

None of the books in this series were under a 4 for me. The 2 I gave 5 ⭐️s were Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. Idc what anyone else says do not read The Assassin’s Blade first and the tandem read is elite.
Throne of Glass Series

I think this is one of my favorite male characters Ali has written. For a YA very young NA book I was shocked how much I liked this.
