Can you hear my heart breaking thanks to Empire of Storms?

I finished Empire of Storms a few hours ago and I can still feel my heart aching - literally, there's a weight on my chest.

When I was done with Queen of Shadows I jokingly said to a friend that maybe I shouldn't read any further; that maybe it was a good enough place to stop and play pretend. Because I knew the rest of the story would be devasting.

Absolutely did not see the >!the damn iron coffin, with all the extra accessories!< and >!Aelin and Lysandra's plan!< coming. Other things, yes. But that?! Not prepared in the slightest.

I have so many thoughts about this book swirling around in my head that I can't even organize them.

What, am I suppose to be a productive member of society now? Shouldn't there be some law saying "of course you can stay at home and mourn your paper friends and piece together your broken heart and continue your journey with them without worrying about grown up responsabilities"?
