 To my surprise I ended up enjoying this book. A the start around the first 100 pages I considered giving up, but I'm happy that I stuck along. Around pages 250-350 I realized that <Yrene and Chaol would end up together, and was incredibly disappointed, because I shipped Chaol and Nesryn. But by the end of the book, I was glad that Yrene and Chaol are end game (I'm almost certain they're end game, I know there is a book to go but they're married). I don't mind Nesryn and Sartaq, I don't have any strong opinions on their relationship. I really liked Chaol's character arc.> I hated Chaol from the middle of Crown of Midnight. I still don't like him very much, but he isn't the worst.

If there was ever a time for a redemption arc, this was it! Although filler between Empire of Storms & Kingdom of Ash, it was a solid smooth read from start to finish!

I hate this book with every fiber of my being. Chaol Westfall is an awful character who defers only suffering, and I think poor darling Yrene deserved better. All of the twists? Absolutely saw them coming. The blatant and sickening ableism in this book? Disgusting. The only reason I didn’t DNF was because I would’ve been upset that I let a book beat me, and I’d already spent 8 1/2 hours slogging through it.
