Now that thats taken care of… this is my second read through and both times i did the tandem read with Empire of Storm (i believe the superior way to read these two). I think I actually liked this one more on the second read through because I felt more forgiving towards Chaol’s character. I absolutely love the southern continent and could’ve read a whole series on that world. This book also made me the most emotional so far in my reread of the series. I found myself tearing up in a bunch of different places in this book.
