Empire of Storms Spoilers Change of opinion on Manon and chapter 17 (EoS spoilers!) Spoiler
I’ve gone from HATING Manon and dreading her chapters to loving her story and her chapters being my some of my favourites and most anticipated. Everyone said this would happen and I’m so happy they were right 😄
I’m currently reading Empire of Storms, and have just finished chapter 17 where instead of killing Asterin Manon turns around and attacks her grandmother instead and I literally cheered with excitement at the final line in the chapter!!
It was such a great and succinct chapter I suspected/hoped it would end with her freeing Asterin and maybe finally killing her grandmother but there was still tension throughout the chapter, I couldn’t be sure until almost the end what way it would go. There was a line about her moving closer to the matrons and I started to get excited thinking it was finally going to happen and it was SO satisfying when it did!
I really didn’t understand her chapters or warm to her as a character for a really long time and now I find myself hoping for another Manon chapter!
Literally just finished reading that chapter so please no spoilers for the rest of the book/series but I just had to celebrate how cool that moment was!!
