Spectacular

Lots of things are wrapped up in this book but there’s definitely more to go! All the plot twists will have you on the edge of your seat for sure. The sneak peek of Empire of Storms was exciting.

3.0

why is this book 600+ pages
absolutely nothing happens until the last 100 pages and the characters are so flat and boring. all of the plot points has no challenge in them and the characters easily obtained everything. the ending was exciting but i can’t believe i just read 500 pages of set up for that
some of the plot points seem completely random ie lysandra
chaol is finally not my least favorite character anymore

4.5

This was a reread for me, but I think this is my favorite book in the series. Everything starts falling in place just in time for the doozy of the tandem read (which I highly recommend if this is your first read through)

This book makes me really hate Chaol
