The writing is elite (I totally thought Chaol would run AWAY, not go through the portal!).Â
10/10 recommend, I only removed 0.5 stars because I wanted Chaolaena to last (lmao)Â

The different character POVs drove the story along in an interesting way, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
I do wish there was more world building, but as the ending suggests, we’ll see more of that in the next book.
I appreciate the mix of platonic and love relationships. It gave the story more life and made the characters more real. It didn’t feel explicitly romance driven.
