First let me start with, some people think that you can skip this book. YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT SKIP THIS BOOK. Things that happen in this, are vital to the final book and you will be lost if you dont read it.
Now that thats taken care of… this is my second read through and both times i did the tandem read with Empire of Storm (i believe the superior way to read these two). I think I actually liked this one more on the second read through because I felt more forgiving towards Chaol’s character. I absolutely love the southern continent and could’ve read a whole series on that world. This book also made me the most emotional so far in my reread of the series. I found myself tearing up in a bunch of different places in this book.
