This is by far one of my favorite books in the series. I was skeptical because I haven’t been a Chaol fan and even after, he’s still not my favorite. But, I loved getting to meet so many new characters I did enjoy. 

Big surprise Chaol treated Nesryn like crap, but her relationship with Sartaq and her storyline was really great and a fun read. 

I liked Yrene’s character a lot too, and her story intertwining with the others after her encounter with Aelin so many books ago. 

I felt everything was wrapped up really nicely heading into the final book.

Did a Tandem read which i highly recommend because "tower of dawn" is alittle slow the first 3/4's of the book. so this might contain content from "Empire of Storms" or "tower of dawn".  Long time with angst and sassy-ness. Semi pointless plot until halfway through.

CHECK TW BEFORE READING THIS BOOK

FINALLY!
After a month of procrastinating this book, I’ve finally finished. To be honest, of 600 and a bit more pages only the last 100 were memorable. I like how Chaol and Nesryn’s stories get developed at the same pace and how neither are diminished to their gender. I also really enjoyed the development of the love interests and how they actually add to the story and aren’t boring side characters whose only function is to kiss our protagonists.
It’s cute, not good not bad.
A simple meh.

I hope it gets better.
