og review 2023: 3 stars
This was too long, but I did enjoy reading about some of the characters, I guess? I felt like the big reveal at the end was good, but wish it was like... half the length. Maybe 1/3 of the length.

ok. this grew on me this time. I honestly think I was so devastated by the massive cliffhanger at the end if the book prior to this that when I read it the first time, it just felt like something I had to get through. and Chaol was never my favorite. But this time around? I loved the missing pieces clicking into place. I loved reading about the southern continent. I loved reading about Chaol and Nesryn and other very important characters. I still think it drags in parts, but it was honestly a nice break from all the stress. before we go into more and more stress.
