Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass #6) by Sarah J Maas
Synopsis :
Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq have arrived in the shining city of Antica to forge an alliance with the Khagan of the Southern Continent, whose vast armies are Erilea's last hope. But they have also come to Antica for another purpose: to seek healing at the famed Torre Cesme for the wounds Chaol received in Rifthold.
After enduring unspeakable horrors as a child, Yrene Towers has no desire to help the young lord from Adarlan, let alone heal him. Yet she has sworn an oath to assist those in need—and will honor it. But Lord Westfall carries shadows from his own past, and Yrene soon comes to realize they could engulf them both.
In this sweeping parallel novel to the New York Times bestselling Empire of Storms, Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene will have to draw on every scrap of their resilience if they wish to save their friends. But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, deep in the shadows of mighty mountains where warriors soar on legendary ruks, long-awaited answers slumber. Answers that might offer their world a chance at survival—or doom them all . . .
This is what I say :
Finally this series is about to come to an end. This would be the second last book. This book also brings readers away from the war and from Aelin Galathynius. Instead, this title allows readers to journey with Chaol Westfall, the previous Captain of the Guard and the current Hand of the King to another Kingdom in the South.
There Chaol met with Yrene Towers, the healer who's attempting to heal Chaol of his injury. His companion to the Southern Kingdom was Nesryn Faliq who instead spent a lot of time with Prince Sartaq, heir to the Southern Kingdom.
While some readers was upset of this deviation from the main story, I rather like it as I am keen to see where the story will bring Chaol to as I do see him as a main character in the series. While he wasn't really well liked by some fans, I quite like him as I feel he's a rather misunderstood character and I am glad he has a book to himself.
There are news about Aelin and the battle in Skull Bay being mentioned as part of the story line but it wasn't the main story. The main story is about Chaol and Yrene as well as Nesryn and Sartaq and there's not prize to see where the plot is heading.
I also enjoyed Tower of Dawn as it's acts as the calm before the storm...before the finale battle in Kingdom of Ashes. Can't wait to start on the final book.
