This book is so good. It feels like so many little threads came together here. I thought about tandem reading this with Tower of Dawn and after attempting, I decided to do a simplified version (I read EoS from 1-51, then read ToD from 1-58, then swapped back to EoS to finish it, then finishing ToD after). In my personal experience I wish I had just read it in publishing order and not swapped back and forth. Because while there is a sort of cliffhanger at the end of EoS, I feel like I was spoiled on some plot twists that I would have preferred to have read after finishing EoS. But all personal preference. Now to finish ToD!
