Aloitin tandemlukuna Taistelun myrskyt osan kanssa, mutta puolivälissä päädyin lukemaan erikseen kirjat. 
Viihdyin tämän kanssa huomattavasti paremmin, kuin aiemman osan. Chaolin kasvutarina yhdessä Yrenen kanssa 🫶🏻❤️

I read Volume 5, Empire of Storms, and Volume 6, Tower of Dawn, in the recommended tandem read – that is, both books in parallel in certain sections. And what can I say: it's worth it! The plot makes much more sense this way, as the stories run concurrently and you don't fall into a void from a cliffhanger.

The narrative strands are varied, full of revelations, new characters and familiar faces. Reading them in tandem creates an even bigger picture, almost like a jigsaw puzzle where pieces suddenly and unexpectedly fall into place. I was particularly impressed by how each character gets their own moments and how the tension steadily builds towards the finale.

I really enjoyed both volumes – reading them in tandem made the whole experience even more intense and exciting for me. Now I'm looking forward to the grand finale even more!
