The events of &#8220;Tower of Dawn&#8221; are critical to the series&#8217; resolution, and you&#8217;d be missing vital information if you didn&#8217;t read them.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you don&#8217;t mind minor spoilers, I think it&#8217;s fun to read &#8220;Tower of Dawn&#8221; before &#8220;Empire of Storms.&#8221; You will know some snippets of what occurs in &#8220;Empire of Storms&#8221; before you read it. Still, you may save yourself from the anxiety-riddled experience of reading an entire 600-page book between the cliffhanger ending of &#8220;Empire of Storms&#8221; and its resolution in &#8220;Kingdom of Ash.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Throne of Glass&#8221; fans also have differing opinions on when to read &#8220;Empire of Storms&#8221; and &#8220;Tower of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3938],"tags":[3444,77,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-373163","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115091232842264996","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
