I did enjoy this one, but wow… it was a slow burn 🐢
After the chaos of Empire of Storms, the calmer, healing focused vibe threw me a bit.

Yrene? Absolutely my fave. Strong, smart, and so grounded 💪❤️
But Chaol… I really struggled with this softer version of him. He felt so different from the Chaol we left behind who let’s be honest was a bit of a dick!😂

Still, it was a necessary journey — even if it took its sweet time!😂🫣
Not my top favourite in the series, but Yrene alone made it worth it 🕊️ Four Stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟
adventurous

I enjoy the author’s story telling so even though the main character in this book is not my favorite, I still enjoy the story. Looking forward to the next one.

4 star for now but debated a 4.5. I absolutely adored this story. Yrene has become one of my favorite characters and I loved reading her and Chaol’s story. I loved seeing Chaol’s character growth throughout this book and I’m proud of who he has become. The ONLY reason I deducted a star is bc I could NOT stand Nezryn’s POV. I just found it so boring. It got better as the book went on but I found myself dreading reading every time it switched to her. Nothing against her as a character. It was just boring.
