I actually ended up really enjoying this book. I wish I’d read it individually rather than in tandem with Empire of Storms to allow myself time to become absorbed and invested in each book separately rather than them seeping together.
In my opinion this paled in comparison to EOS because there was so much action going on in EOS and I wanted to keep reading EOS that I found I was annoyed when I had to return for some TOD chapters. However toward the second half of my tandem read I started reading bigger chunks of each book and actually I think this is a really important read and gives the reader some more insight into Chaol and his inner thoughts.
This is a book with a beautiful love story romantically but also a love story where Chaol learns acceptance and learns to love himself again after so much trauma and self loathing. I found the ending rather emotional and cannot wait for the final book because I know the intertwining of all of these characters finally coming together is actually going to be incredible.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
