Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass, 6)

A glorious empire. A desperate quest. An ancient secret.

The search for allies extends to a new land in the sixth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

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 at the hands of Adarlanian soldiers, 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 she will honor it. But Lord Westfall carries his own dark past, and Yrene soon realizes that those shadows could engulf them both.

Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene will have to draw on every scrap of their resilience to overcome the danger that surrounds them. But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, long-awaited answers slumber deep in the mountains, where warriors soar on legendary ruks. Answers that might offer their world a chance at survival . . . or doom them all.

The final battle looms in this sixth book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series.

I did the tandom read and honestly I don’t think I could have done it any other way. Both books were good but TOD had a slower pace and more story building because there were less points of view which I liked. I loved getting to know Chaol better and don’t get the hate on him. It really picked up in the last 200 pages and bombs were dropped. Overall good book. 3.2 ⭐️

To take a character that I was so mad at, so pissed at and make me care about his healing journey and redemption? Amazing. So many new characters and new places, expertly woven in and tied back into the story. I did do an Empire of Storms / Tower of Dawn tandem read. I recommend and enjoyed the chronological ordering of events and the different plot twists building on and enriching each other! Esp Queen Maeve, IYKYK

What the hell was this book? I fully accepted I won't like every book in a series but...I am judging hard on this one. About 40% was okay. I enjoyed the world building and all the new characters. But I could care less about Chaol and his emotional journey. If this book was supposed to make me like him, it just confirmed I never will. I am also mad at him for ruining Yrene's appearance. That was such an amazing throw back to AB and now I just think of her as Chaol's side piece. The book itself was well written from a technical stand point but I enjoyed maybe a few chapters from Sartaq. Nothing new happened. No be bombshells that weren't hinted at heavily prior. Where EOS was an action movie this was a rom com...and that's being generous.
