6/1/2023 0 Comments Maas tower of dawnAnd while spending time with Aelin (and her enormous ego) had become nigh unbearable, I wasn’t sure how Maas would keep up the momentum while totally abandoning Aelin and Co’s storyline. I despaired at the direction she took Chaol in after Heir of Fire, and was mentally bracing myself for Maas to keep royally screwing him. So my expectations going into Tower of Dawn were exceedingly low. The fact that Empire of Storms and A Court of Mists and Fury were basically the same book. Her sex scenes, which are either cringe-worthy or unwittingly hilarious (see: Rowan’s lightning orgasm). Her characters’ decisions and actions are often inconsistent, or she changes their personality completely (see: Tamlin). Aelin Galathynius, who I want to throat punch pretty much any time she opens her mouth, is in a hate category all of her own. That her main characters (and most of her secondary ones) are, without fail, spectacularly good looking. The absurd amount of vowels she uses-Chaol, Celaena, Eyllwe. And her male characters?īut then there’s a lot that drives me crazy. Book plots (for the most part) are fast paced and keep me on the edge of me seat. I love the interesting characters she invents and the emotional journeys they go through. I love the worlds she builds, with their magics and customs and diverse people groups. I have a love/hate relationship with Sarah J.
