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).

The beginning of this book dragged but it got better as it went. I did the tandem read (reading at the same time as Empire of Storms) and that helped a lot. I probably wouldn’t have finished this as quickly if it was all Chaol and Nesryn.

Although failed at my tandem read, I still suggest that you attempt it. It was difficult to balance and ultimately reading TOD was a bit of a struggle at times. The accelerated world building was difficult to process in contrast of the other continent having many books to develop the ins and outs. 

The last third of TOD captivated me, the sudden discoveries and the connection between the books held me unable to put my book down until I finished it. The pieces are all set in place for a grand finale that will undoubtedly leave me wrecked and in tears. And I cannot wait.
