When I realized that Tower of Dawn was about Chaol instead of Aelin and crew, I was not excited. I put it down in favor of a few other books and ignored it for days at a time. Honestly it wasn’t until around page ~200 when I really got into it. Luckily I pushed through and actually enjoyed it!
As a last ditch effort, Chaol and Nesryn hope to find an alliance with the powerful Khagan kingdom in Antica—and heal Chaol’s broken body at the Torre Cesme too.
We meet a whole host of new, fierce characters that allow for a total change of pace compared to the other books in the series. Slower paced, yes, but in a good way. And even though this was a side story, a lot of its big reveals will most definitely return with a vengeance in the last book of the series. Can’t wait to see how SJM wraps all of this up.
