Tower of Dawn

Okay. This book made me angry and pushed me in an almost month long reading slump.

I hated the romance. I hated the plot since I saw almost every plot twist miles away (since it is quite formulatic). It made me even hate Chaol and Yrene more.

With every redeeming thing Chaol had done, he does at least one non redeemable thing. The back and forth of the romance like a broken lightswitch got on my very nerves and didn't help my enjoyment. Also not everything needs to be a mating thing.

The writing was good as always but that doesn't help the problematic ways the story uses Chaols “disabilty” being curable through magic, love and a little bit of self reflection got over my head.

I pushed through because I had a similar feeling it would be like Queen of Shadows were I liked the ending but it would be a rocky ride there (snd almost everyone loves this book). It wasn't.
