An epic clash between gods and mortals threatens to tear Mytica apart … and prove that not even the purest of love stands a chance against the strongest of magic. Jonas is filled with hate and on a quest for vengeance, he will inevitably rise above his personal pains for the greater good of his people – but I found him interesting despite his predictable storyline. Cleo attempts to save her using the magic seeds gifted to her by the merchant woman of Paelsia (secretly an exiled Watcher), but it is too late. It has a sprawling cast, with chapters that switch between third-person narrators whose plots run alongside each other, comparable to A Song of Ice and Fire.

JONAS watches at the palace gates, a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius. Wow, and here I thought it’s a trilogy or a quartet (I’m a bit behind though, I’ve only read up to the second with the third still on my tbr).She hopes that the stories are true and that these seeds will save her sister Emilia who is gravely ill with a mysterious disease. Much death and conflict later, and the series ends with Magnus/Cleo, Ashur/Nic, and Jonas/Lucia, with implications for Amara/Nerissa. Everywhere I look, I see people constantly ranting and raving over Throne of Glass, but I’ve only seen one person give this book the praise it deserves ( gingerreadslainey).

Elemental Powers: Elementia, or the magic that gives the world life, comes in four forms: fire, air, water, and earth. Lucia finds herself briefly threatened by this, but by a crowd in Paelsia, when they recognize her as the sorceress who just recently went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge across their land. We follow two Kingdoms on the edge of war, each with a Princess who is at the centre of the plot’s narrative.JONAS: After escaping death by the skin of his teeth, the defeated rebel—along with a mysterious stranger–leader reunites with Princess Cleo, only to find himself a mere pawn in a dangerous hunt for the elusive Kindred. Morgan Rhodes has created a rich, living fantasy world and characters that immediately draw the reader in.
