Rating: 5/5 stars.

Absolutely adored this, and adored the tandem read with EoS.  Definitely a shift from the rest of the series but utterly outstanding in its own right. There are apparently people out there who skip this one, to which I say….are you okay??? I absolutely LOVED this book, and found it to be a refreshing change of pace (ish, since I was tandem reading).

I was a little hesitant to read this book at first but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I was going to. I loved seeing a new perspective in this world.

there was a lot in this book that i loved, i love how it felt similar to the earlier books in the series, and i loved reading chaol’s pov, but i felt like it was wayyyy too long - there was so much unnecessary detail (especially at the start) that i really struggled to finish it :/
