I’ve been loving rereading this series and this book was no different!

As this is a sequel, I won’t go into the storyline. This was my second time reading this book, and my first tandem read, with Empire of Storms, and I have to say, even though it took awhile, tandem reading is the way to go with these two books!

From Heir of Fire onwards, Chaol is one of my least favourite characters… honestly, he gets on my last nerve. However, about halfway through this book, Chaol begins to redeem himself in my eyes. 

I absolutely love Yrene! She’s just as strong as the other female characters, but as she’s a healer, as oppose to an outright fighter like Aelin or Manon, she’s got this understated strength that is very enjoyable and makes you love her even more. 

Nesryn was also an interesting character who I’m glad we saw more of, especially as an individual character, not just as a part of Chaol’s storyline. 

Overall, I did love this book, but I did find myself missing the other characters of the series, so I’m really glad I did the tandem read!
