Wtf happened - no longer appropriate for young teens/kids
I have loved this entire Throne of Glass series, until Empire of Storms of ruined it for me.If I wanted to read explicit sex scenes, I would buy books for that purpose. They certainly do not belong here. Its as if an entire series, with a beautiful world and amazing characters was built, and in the the last book the author decided, id rather this be a porno. Not at all appropriate for young kids/teens. Sex and relationships is one thing. but do we need all that detail, and so much of it?? It does nothing to move the story forward. In fact just makes me want to skim through the smut and dread every future encounter between Aelin and Rowan. I hope court of thorns and roses doesnt follow this same path, as ive heard, as i really do like her books and style. But if so, i think i m done with this author. At least classify as adult/erotica in the future. SMH. In the end, if this series is going to go this route, stop marketing to children and young teens. Not at all appropriate. And some parents/grandparents buy these for thier kids assuming its free of such things.
