Saturday I finally picked up my so long awaited books of the Throne of Glass series from Sarah J. Maas. I’ve been waiting for the past two weeks to continue reading after I finished the first three books and the prequel within a month. It’s a good thing for me that I had so many gift cards to spend, otherwise I would have never been able to continue reading. 

It turned out, I spent most of my Saturday night reading in Queen of Shadows, only to later start in Empire of Storms. [SPOILER] What I loved most about these books in the character development of Aelin over the series. I have not reached the end yet, but I know, and was actually surprised that she is living on borrowed time. It was something I didn’t expect to happen, that the main character of the books would end up dead, or more like, is going to need to forfeit her life to make her friends be able to live on.  

What I’m thinking of now however, is that the last part of Empire of Storms gave me the idea her cousin Aedion would be able to give that sacrifice as well, but I don’t know, it seems like a theory that got developped in my mind, and one I am curious to reveal once I get back to reaing the last two books of the series. [SPOILER OUT]

It was so very typical of me to jump in the books as if it was my own story, and it felt like an escape from reality feeling and hearing how the story goes on. It was like time travel. The first moment you’re at the beginning of a journey, but then all of a sudden you end up overseas, which took you only three weeks of sailing, and not knowing what to do. I wonder if others also experience reading like this, or that it is just me, who gets caught up in someone else’s world for a little while.
