worst book in the series. chaol was a stress relief character that she didnt like and it shows.

It was a slow start coming off of book 6 but overall beautiful story.

I was so bummed to have to read so much Chaol but literally ended up LOVING this book. I wish I would have known it was a tandem read but alas, still loved it!! I love Yrene and Chaol’s story and literally almost cried over Nesryn’s family (won’t say more than that). A great read

I didn’t think I was going to like this book, being left with the cliff hanger of the last but I was so wrong. A totally new adventure with some of my new favorite characters.

I started loving this book about halfway in. It was really hard for me to pivot away from Aelin’s storyline when it had ended so dramatically in the previous book. I didn’t want to focus on Chaol and Nesryn after all of that, but I’m so glad I did! This book was amazing and now I can’t wait to read the finale!

Tower of Dawn alongside Empire of Storms was an epic tandem read, but this book was the standout. It's quite remarkable, as I initially heard it was intended as a novella, yet it developed into one of my most beloved entries in the entire series. I was completely invested in Chaol and Yrene's journey and found the exploration of the southern continent utterly fascinating. The depth added through Sartaq and Nesryn's discoveries about Maeve and the Kharankui was a masterstroke, delivering genuinely surprising revelations. And the unexpected re-emergence of Falkan, along with weaving in the history between Yrene and Aelin, were beautifully executed plot points. I'm immensely excited to see how Sarah J. Maas wraps up this incredible series, and Tower of Dawn is definitely on my list for a re-read, if not the entire collection.

A whole book about my two least favorite characters. You can skip this one without it impacting the story.

I did the tandem read with Empire of Storms and they are perfectly read together. What an unbelievable ending, that feels so much better because I read both books at the same time. This series ROCKS!

Super hard to leave all of our favorite characters but when pushing through was so happy with Chaols development and ended up falling in love with Yrene.
