I'm so angry that Tower of Dawn was the best book of this series because I truly detested Chaol. Correct, past tense. I no longer detest Chaol. He's an obedient chucklehead who had to realize so many things, especially about Aelin, until this book but I'm glad that he finally did. 

The reason I loved this book was actually other characters. First, Yrene. She and Chaol made sense, sure. But she's still too good for that chucklehead. 

I knew that Nesryn was too good for Chaol even before and this book ensured me. And Sartaq. My lovely, brave, stupidly in love with Nesryn Sartaq. I freakin' love him. His crush on Nesryn long before meeting her was heartbreakingly good. I went "Aw" so many times. 

Borte and Hasar just HAVE TO meet Aelin. Especially Hasar would love Aelin (at least, after a while). I think Borte would stress Aedion all the time like Aelin does. And I think Aedion and Sartaq would like each other very much.

I already cannot wait for Falkan and Lysandra to meet. When I realized that Falkan was related to Lysandra, I was so happy. Damn you, Maas for getting me all invested in all these characters. And making Chaol bearable. 

I'm already anxious about the Kingdom of Ash. But I'm starting the book immediately at the same time.
