“I wanted to heal you,” she breathed. “You did,” he said, smiling. “Yrene, in every way that truly matters … You did.” Chaol wiped away the other tears that fell, brushing a kiss to her hot cheek.“
I found this book hard to get into. I’m not sure if it was my mood or the story itself or even a mixture of both. In the end, even though I am not an audiobook listener, I thought I would try it and see if it would help me through the book. Funny enough it did as I listened and also followed along on the kindle app.
I felt the story started off quite slow probably why I felt like it dragged on. But when the story started to pick up it got interesting.
I loved that Sarah showed how the injury impacted Chaol both physically and mentally really well. And that’s something rare as some books just skim over those important things. Personally I suffer with mental health so seeing how withdrawn and frustrated Chaol got felt relatable.
The building of new friendships and relationships are the heartfelt moments I loved between each couple and how their feelings grew while trying to figure out how to stop the Vlag.
The different personalities between the Khagan’s children was interesting, even though sometimes I either wanted to slap one of the children or strangle one 😅
Borte (Sartaq’s Hearth-Sister) is hilarious 🤣 the banter between Sartaq and Borte kept me laughing especially when Nesryn got involved in the banter. I loved The Rukhin group especially the Ruks Kadara and Salkhi! 😍
It was always a mystery on who was killing people/trying to go after Yrene but once that was revealed who it was, I really wasn’t expecting that. Even what Nesryn & Sartaq found out was shocking but still to be honest made sense a little 😅
There was an animal death that was just heartbreaking 💔 that wasn’t nice to hear 😭
It was a good read and had great relationship/world building and physical/mental representation ☺️ x
