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. 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.
Not a favorite of the series - it took me to around the middle of the book to get really interested in the story. Maybe it's because I could never really relate to Chaol, not sure. Overall fine, but I don't think I'd re-read this one.

Okay, so first I didn't start off super hyped up about this book because of the way Empire of Storms ended. I mean, come on! Who goes from all that to Chaol in Antica?! I'm sorry Chaol but Aelin is my absolute favorite! I'm a sucker for witty, sarcastic women who get me laughing so hard I can't breathe.
Anyway, once I managed to finally find a way to actually read the book (my e-reader broke :'() and told myself I had to get through it before Kingdom of Ash I found out that Tower of Dawn really isn't that bad (like that's a surprise...). The whole journey Chaol went through is something that I can relate to so well in my own way since I'm going through a why-am-I-such-a-failure phase in my life as well. I kinda wish I had a Yrene Towers …
I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kinda wish I had a Yrene Towers to kindly and sternly push me through it because I can make it through if I wasn't so stubborn :D. His whole restoration at the end really touched me and helped me see my situation in a different light (kinda). This whole series really has been a comfort for me and has helped me see a bit of the person I want to be.
About one-third of the way there (I think, who pays attention to where they are in a book? I forget chapter numbers most of the time), I got hooked and couldn't put it down, again! I loved the little "fights" that Chaol and Yrene had and enjoyed the whole adventure Nesryn, Sartuk, Borte, and the ruk riders had (if dragons, phoenixes, or ruks were real...).
I can't wait to start Kingdom of Ash!
And to Sarah J. Maas: you really shouldn't spoil me so, you are wayyyyy too good at it.
