Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5)

Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everything is coming together
Abraxas is the hero in my opinion cause when they sent him away he went and found The Thirteen which arrived in time to help them win against Maeve. He also took Manon to Aelin when she told him to find somewhere safe for her to recuperate after she was so badly injured by her Grandmother. We have also discovered that Manon as well as the Ironteeth former heir is the last Crochan Queen her Father was a Crochan and her Grandmother killed her Mother and Father. The Thirteen agree to follow Mannon and they throw their lot in with Aelin.

Everyone is rather mad at Lorcan at the moment but he summoned Maeve to save Elide when he thought they were losing against Earwen, even though he knew Maeve had placed a kill order on his head. He didn't foresee the consequences and deeply regrets his summoning. Lorcan took Elide to Aelin and allowed her to give Aelin the key she carried. He has also placed Maeve's ring that gives protection against the Valg on Elid's finger. Maeve freed him so he is now with an ally of Aelin's. Aelin gave Manon both keys before Maeve captured her so the keys are now safe with Dorian.

Gavriel (Aedion's Father) and Fenrys were sent to kill Lorcan but found a way around it and joined forces with Aelin and Rowan. As punishment, Maeve freed Gavriel from his blood oath with dishonor. But she forced Fenrys to return with her.

Aelin is the lock and her life is the price for sending Earwen back. Aelin made plans for Lysandra to assume her identity.

Rowan's cousins turned against Maeve and joined them at Rowan's request. Galan Ashryver Crown Prince of Wendlyn came to help Aelin. The Silent Assassins of the Red Desert (Ilias) came at Aelin's request as well as Ansel.

Chaol is coming with an army as well as the knowledge that Maeve is a Valg.

And Rowan is determined to find his wife and free her from the iron coffin Maeve put her in.

Abandoned in Death (In Death, #54)

Abandoned in Death by J.D. Robb
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I still enjoy them but they are getting rather formulaic. Someone gets dead as Eve would say and Eve finds the killer the twist this time is the killer is right under her nose at the precinct.

Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass, #6)

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Years ago Aelin saved a barmaid from a group of mercenaries she taught her how to defend herself and gave her some gold to cross the sea to Torre. Now that kindness is being repaid a thousandfold. Not only did Yrene heal Chaol, but she is coming to Aelin's aid with three hundred healers who know the secret to defeating the Valg. Yrene also got the khagan to help after she saved his most beloved daughter who had been infected by the Valg. And when Yrene gives Chaol the note to read "for wherever you need to go -and then some. The world needs more healers" he realizes that Aelin is the woman who helped Yrene all those years ago. Chaol and Yrene are also married.

Big reveal, Maeve is a Valg Queen (didn't see that coming).

Nesryn is now with Prince Sartaq heir to the throne. They had quite an adventure with the spiders. And meet Lysandra's Uncle Falkan. In his shapeshifter form, he saved their lives first as a wolf and then disguised as a spider. Aelin has also met Falkan previously.
