Did a Tandem read which i highly recommend because "tower of dawn" is alittle slow the first 3/4's of the book. so this might contain content from "Empire of Storms" or "tower of dawn". Long time with angst and sassy-ness. Semi pointless plot until halfway through.

Don’t do the tandem read. The pace of this book is drastically different from Empire of Storms and this book suffers all the down falls. This book is scoped to fewer people and has more emotion driven changes.

It has a few extremely satisfying reveals and a few “well duh” moments. Some of the big reveals were things that I thought were just basic knowledge gained in book 3.

I believe this book suffered for not allowing Choals gradual healing to be associated with his emotional healing. In one day he faced all his repeated patterns of emotional self-abuse. I’m not buying it.

Also a note on the series as a whole, I need more key characters killed to give this war some real stakes. And I need two people to hang out and grow together and not be a couple. Let them be friends, let people miss each other and have the heart grow fonder. Just mix it up.

Was not thrilled to read a Chaol-heavy book but then I found myself enjoying it much more than expected.

A good amount of fluff could have been edited out but the character development is solid.

Devoting an entire book on side characters is an interesting move that mostly paid off.

I'm so angry that Tower of Dawn was the best book of this series because I truly detested Chaol. Correct, past tense. I no longer detest Chaol. He's an obedient chucklehead who had to realize so many things, especially about Aelin, until this book but I'm glad that he finally did.

The reason I loved this book was actually other characters. First, Yrene. She and Chaol made sense, sure. But she's still too good for that chucklehead.

I knew that Nesryn was too good for Chaol even before and this book ensured me. And Sartaq. My lovely, brave, stupidly in love with Nesryn Sartaq. I freakin' love him. His crush on Nesryn long before meeting her was heartbreakingly good. I went "Aw" so many times.

Borte and Hasar just HAVE TO meet Aelin. Especially Hasar would love Aelin (at least, after a while). I think Borte would stress Aedion all the time like Aelin does. And I think Aedion and Sartaq would like each other very much.

I already cannot wait for Falkan and Lysandra to meet. When I realized that Falkan was related to Lysandra, I was so happy. Damn you, Maas for getting me all invested in all these characters. And making Chaol bearable.

I'm already anxious about the Kingdom of Ash. But I'm starting the book immediately at the same time.

I might not be the biggest Chaol fan - but I can acknowledge the change and growth he goes through in this book!
