Where To Pre-Order Empire Of Storms by Sarah J Maas...

Helloooo everybody. So, recently I've been trolling the web looking for random stuff and I came across a bunch of places that are running preorder promotions for Empire of Storms. And I'm here to tell you all about them, because I don't want anybody to miss out on these chances. Also, there are so many places to order EoS from that it's helpful to have them all in one place. I hope this helps you in your decision on where to buy :)

First, I have three places (that I have found so far) where you can preorder Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas SIGNED

.

For the UK and Europe, Waterstones has the white paperback editions for signing. 

This promotion is only available until the DAY OF PUBLICATION, aka September 6, 2016.

.

For the US and others who want to order from there, Books of Wonder has the hardcover US editions for signing AND personalization.

This promotion is only available until AUGUST 15, 2016! No later than that or the books will come without personalization. 

.

For US and international, Good Choice Reading is running a virtual signing. At this signing you can get ALL of the ToG books (in hardcover) and the ToG coloring book signed and personalized. You will have to pay full price and shipping for the books, but you can get the entire series signed/personalized if you so desire. 

Also, the EoS edition that is being signed is the Barnes & Noble edition, which you can check out below. 

The deadline for this is, as you can see above, AUGUST 29, 2016. Get your orders in before then folks! 

.

.

.

Then I have two places where you can get exclusive content. The first is Barnes & Noble with an exclusive fan art poster and an exclusive short story.

This will be available following the release as well, meaning there is no deadline on when you have to order it buy.

.

The second place is Target. Target always seems to have exclusive editions of EVERYTHING. This edition of EoS will have an exclusive full-color poster and a never-before-seen story.

This will also be available after the publication date, so there's no rush on buying this one either.

.

.

.

Also, if you were unaware, Bloomsbury is running a preorder promotion as well. It's not for a signed copy or anything, BUT it is really cool. Check it out.

If you preorder Empire of Storms, you get the notebook pictured above. If you preorder the ToG coloring book, you get the colored pencils pictured above. 

You can preorder from ANYWHERE, in ANY format (that means physical ...or ebook copies), and it will work for this promotion. However, there are only some countries (listed below) that can receive this promotion.

USA, Canada, UK, ROI, AU, and NZ are the only countries where you can be sent the preorder gifts. The link to submit your information is here. 

More informations and FAQ are here.

.

.

Also, once Empire of Storms is released, I will be running a giveaway, so make sure to stay tuned for that! 

I'm also hosting a Throne of Glass series Read-A-Long. The link to the post is here, or can be found as the Featured Post on the top right of my blog.

Amazon

Book Depository

Sarah's tumblr also has a page with links to signed editions here.

I wasn't asked to promote any of this. I mean, I have very few people who follow this blog (if any) and very few YouTube subscribers, so no one would as me to do this as they don't know I exist. However, ToG is my favorite series and I am extremely excited about these promotions. I am preorder both signed editions as I have both edition sets and I have already turned in my preorder information for the goodies. I wouldn't want huge fans of Sarah and this series to miss out on these great opportunities simply because they didn't know about them. I also realize that there are a lot of editions to buy. There's three different editions in the US alone, which could cost a person quite a bit of money. I myself will be getting the exclusive editions and the signed editions, but only because I have an excellent well-paying job this summer. I hope this enlightened you or at least got you excited for the release (September 6, 2016).

*Semi-spoiler free review*

This book made me laugh so hard. Just in the first couple pages I was laughing. Emma's best friend, Chloe, was just hilarious. Then there was the fact that the mermaids--Syrena in this novel--didn't really know how to act in the human world. Trying to see them fit in and figure out the world was entertaining.

Emma was awesome. I really enjoyed her character and her arc. I loved seeing her backstory as well when it finally came into light. She went through so much in this novel and I am interested to see how different she is by the end of the trilogy.

I loved Galen, but he frustrated me at times. Maybe it was because he was a Syrena and thought more analytically than humans, but there were times when his choices annoyed the crap out of me. It was pretty funny to be honest, thought. In the second half of the book he really pulled together and I could see his struggles. His choices made me like him even more.

Rayna was awesome. She was a badass and in the beginning, I really was annoyed by her. She was rude to Emma, but then as the book progressed things got better and I enjoyed her character. She was one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, character. She had a tough go of it as well, and her strength was amazing to see.

I enjoyed this book and the mythology in it. It was interesting to see these two different worlds coming together. I am very excited to see how the next book progresses and I can't wait to read it, especially after this book's ending.

*Semi-spoiler free review*

Holy shikes, this book was steamy. I really enjoyed this book, and it was very different from what I expected when I went in.

First off we have the two main characters, Ali and Nate. Ali is the younger sister of Nate's best friend, Grigg, who has just recently died. They've known each other for years, but never quite gotten along due to Nate's cold behavior. But when Grigg died, he left something behind and now Ali is the target of some unknown person. So, she does the only thing she can think of and takes shelter with Nate at his elite covert-ops headquarters, even if he doesn't necessarily want her there.

This whole book was frustrating and oh-so-good. Frustrating because I just wanted Ali and Nate to finally admit their feelings for each other and get together already. It was oh-so-good for a number of reasons. The characters were funny and each had a backstory. I loved Ozzie-he was so flipping hilarious.

There was action, too. It was well-planned most of the time and I liked where it fell in the timeline. And there were a lot of feels. I ugly cried in this book, and it was bad. Lots of tears, lots of snot, and I had to stop reading because I couldn't see the pages.

However, despite how good it was I had just a couple small quirks. First, it was a little slow at times. I get that we had to set a lot of things up, but it was still slow at certain small parts. I also felt like the ending was too easy. I feel for a book where so much was set up, the ending came quickly and easily.

Apart from those two things, I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be continuing on with this series.
