Tower of Dawn

3.5 ⭐️

This book was definitely harder for me to get in to. Thankful I did the tandem read to keep me going. It got better in the middle and the end was shocking.

It only took three almost four years but I finally ready this book, who still has the fugliest cover in existence. I just couldn't be seen in public with this cover. Who can blame me? Nobody can.

It could have been so much better. They could have put Chaol on this cover and they didn't. Imagine him in the wheelchair. It would have been so good. What did we do to anger the cover designers??? What should we have sacrificed in their names??

And nice try, SJM. I still wish Chaol and Celaena were end game. I will always wish they were end game. This book didn't change my opinion for shit.

Apparently this book is goign to be 700 pages.

It is gonna take me so long to read this urgh

That just means more time where someone might see me with reading this hideously covered book

RIP this book is going to be the death of me. I don't wanna be associated with something so ugly.

(also who the eff is Nesryn I don't remember her at all)(no one is answering this question properly I am still lost who the eff is Nesryn?????)(haha I give up. I'm never gonna remember her)

My love for SJM grows with every book. I wasn't looking forward to reading this book..not because I'm over the series (I'm totally NOT)..but because the main character for this one is Chaol and not Aelin. And I don't really care for Chaol. That being said I wasn't going to skip a whole book in a series (Who does that??). I trust SJM so I dove in like I do with all her books since ACOTAR. I wasn't disappointed at all. Especially the second half where I had to put the book down several times to just OMG! WHAAAAAT! (out loud) while simultaneously texting my bff and sister (both of whom haven't read it yet) so I couldn't say anything really to spewing madness at my bf because I needed to tell someone what I just read. I'm not saying I love Chaol now. He still made me suck my teeth and roll my eyes several times. But SJM fleshed him out to where I can be in the same room with him LOL
Spoiler Alert??-
This books takes place at the same time as the previous where Aelin is doing what Aelin does and what happened here is so crucial to whatever madness is coming next that I'm glad to have had it fleshed out lest the next book be 5000 pages (which I'd be okay with).
