The beginning of this book dragged but it got better as it went. I did the tandem read (reading at the same time as Empire of Storms) and that helped a lot. I probably wouldn’t have finished this as quickly if it was all Chaol and Nesryn.

5.0

What a wonderful book. I really enjoyed my time in Antica with Chaol. The royal family of the Khaganate, especially Sartaq, were some of my favorite characters to get to know in the series. The court intrigue, the goings on if the Torre Cesme, the lurking evil, the Ruk riders, and the personal journey of healing are all part of what makes this book one of my favorites of the series.

Quite frankly, I have no idea why people rate this book so lowly. I absolutely fell in love with every single character by the end!!
The twists, reveals and such were great, yeah. But I ADORED the enemies to lovers/forced proximity/forbidden love of Chaol and Yrene so much. I loved watching Chaol grow and reacquainting with old side characters from previous books. Alongside Empire Of Storms, this book was a breath of fresh air in the same way that I loved reading ACOTAR.
