Blurb Description: 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.
In Short: I LOVED EACH AND EVERY SECOND OF THIS BOOK. It reminded me on the initial books in
Sarah J Maas’ Throne of Glass series
that I fell madly in love with and I don’t know if I have the WORDS to describe
what this book meant to me. It was perfect, filled with plot twists that BLEW
MY MIND and then some and I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED (and nervous) for
the finale that comes out this May.
I will admit that I wish this cover matched the white
backgrounds of the rest of the series, but it doesn’t matter that much to me,
because there was so much else to love about this book. Let’s break it down:
REASONS I LOVED
THIS BOOK:
1. THE PACE AND PROPER DEVELOPMENT OF
CHARACTERS: I went into this book a little sceptical. With the exception of
two characters (okay, four, but you barely get to know the other two in The Assassins Blade) this book was about
to introduce you to a whole new CONTINENT filled with characters and I was
nervous that I wouldn’t care about them/ the book wouldn’t make me care about
them. I was WRONG. Tower Of Dawn has
this medium pace through the book as we are introduced to a whole new court,
whole new families and so many new traditions.
I ADORED
the world building that Sarah Maas did in Tower
Of Dawn – it was brilliantly constructed and explained, rivalled only by
her construction of the Night Court.
2. YRENE TOWERS AND NESRYN FALIQ: If you think
that Sarah J Maas can only have powerful assassins/ shape shifters/ fae as her
main characters, think again. Both Yrene Towers with her healer magic and her
strong sense of self and Nesryn Faliq with her unflinching loyalty and warrior
spirit FLOORED me with their strength and courage and I can’t wait to see the both of them again.
3. A WHOLE HORDE OF NEW PRINCES AND PRINCESSES:
Of course Sarah Maas introduced a whole new slew of Princes and Princesses.
I loved the cut throat world they lived in, and I ESPECIALLY fell in love with
Prince Sartaq. I loved the part where Nesryn and he go to the Aerie, and meet
his hearth family. He, and all the other Princes and Princesses, were so
different from the ones I’ve been used to reading in Maas’ books and I LOVED
IT.
4. A KINGDOM I GENUINELY WANT TO LIVE IN: Seriously,
you guys, Antica is the accepting, teaching and loving world all of us dream of
living in where there is no discrimination, hate or abuse. It was this PERFECT
kingdom and I sat around FANGIRLING OVER IT.
5. SO SO MANY PLOT TWISTS: I WILL NOT TELL
YOU WHAT THESE ARE, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY TWISTS THAT IMPACT THE WHOLE SERIES
THAT YOU HAVE NOT SEEN COMING AND YOU WILL FREAK OUT WHEN YOU DO.
6. THE LACK OF EXAGGERATION: One of my
biggest problems with Empire Of Storms was
the amount of repetitive praise that the characters gave the others as the POVs
switched around. In their heads, of course, but after reading the same thing
for over 600 pages, it got monotonous and boring.
Tower
Of Dawn, however, was the EXACT OPPOSITE of Empire of Storms in this manner. Mass’ introduced up to all her new
characters subtly but surely and let their actions speak for themselves. It
showed me AMAZING growth in her writing and now I can’t wait for the finale.
7. EVERYTHING ELSE - I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF
THE TIME I SPENT READING THIS BOOK. It was one of Mass’ best works to date, and
I was so sad when it got over.
I honestly cannot believe that we’ll all have the finale in
our hands in just a few months because I AM NOT READY FOR THIS SERIES TO END.
A brilliant, perfect
fantasy with unrivalled world building and character growth. 5 stars.
Sarah J. Maas is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series as well as the A Court of Thorns and Roses series.Sarah lives in Bucks County, PA, and over the years, she has developed an unhealthy appreciation for Disney movies and bad pop music. She adores fairy tales and ballet, drinks too much tea, and watches an ungodly amount of TV. When she's not busy writing, she can be found exploring the historic and beautiful Pennsylvania countryside with her husband and canine companion.
