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":110348,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[72312,223,270,72315,2858,88,72314,29603,38967,3608,72316,32820,72313,27508,562,56513,72311],"class_list":["post-110347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-books","tag-book-order","tag-books","tag-business-insider","tag-character-depth","tag-court","tag-entertainment","tag-faerie","tag-fan","tag-glass","tag-hardcore","tag-more-adventure","tag-romance","tag-roses","tag-sarah-j-maas","tag-series","tag-thorns","tag-throne"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
