Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas

Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass, #6)

by Sarah J. Maas

In the next installment of the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, follow Chaol on his sweeping journey to a distant empire.

Chaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the Captain of the Guard. But all of that has changed since the glass castle shattered, since his men were slaughtered, since the King of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken.

His only shot at recovery lies with the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme in Antica--the stronghold of the southern continent’s mighty empire. And with war looming over Dorian and Aelin back home, their survival might lie with Chaol and Nesryn convincing its rulers to ally with them.

But what they discover in Antica will change them both--and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined.

It's funny how reading this book make you realize how much Aelin and Chaol don't belong together. You really get a bit of that in earlier books when Chaol is really disgusted by Aelin's aggression/violence, but this book really shows you how PERFECT he is with a healer. My word.

The visual parts of the healing process weren't really my cup of tea. Like... Yrene would start healing Chaol and they'd spend hours battling Chaol's like "inner demons", but it has some sort of visual representation that they can both see. It's almost like they were in a shared dream state, I guess. Anyway that just wasn't something I was super into.

Although it was hard to be away from Aelin, Rowan, and co., I did enjoy the new continent. The royal family was interesting and of course the ruk are awesome. If you're into the ruk then you should totally check out the Tairen Soul series.

I also really liked how everything kind of tied together. Chaol and Nesryn separate but they both kind of figure out half of what's going on and those two halves connect, which then connect to everything Aelin's doing. I thought it was very cool!

I am totally pissed that I decided to read this series now until next year when the last book is tout though. :P Stupid stupid stupid!
