A review by serahlunareads
Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas

4.0

I enjoyed this book much more than most who have read this series seemed to. Neither Chaol and Nesryn were characters that I cared much for going into the tandem read, but I came out of it having my opinion changed greatly. Chaol specifically, but Nesryn eventually grew on me, as well.

The reoccurrence of characters from The Assassin’s Blade was beautifully done, and the way that they tie in to the story was immensely satisfying. The same could be said for both Tower of Dawn and Empire of Storms. 

While the story was a bit heavy in war politics for my tastes, I don't fault the book for that. It's the nature of the story. But I definitely missed the action and pacing of the other books in the series. This one feels much different!

I don't know if I would have enjoyed this less if I had read it by itself as opposed to the tandem read with Empire of Storms, but I really did enjoy it.
