This was a much needed break after Empire of Storms.
I remember spending a lot of time in the last book wondering how Choal was doing and why we weren’t following his point of view like normal. Well, this book answered all of my questions and then some! The pace was kind of slow in the beginning, but things do pick up. I enjoyed the way the relationships played out once again. I like the way Maas writes them out, even if she does overuse the trope a bit.
It’s a light pace that allows you to catch your breath and rest. After the repetitive heartbreak in the last book, the lack of action is a welcome reprieve. The introduction of Yrene Towers gives us a better look into the healing magic of the land. The homecoming that Nesryn receives when reunited with her aunt and uncle is beautiful. I love the peace Antica represents and hope that the northern continent can come to something like this.
At this point, anything she writes will be a five-star read for me.
