Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas

I loved getting to go to the southern continent, of which we have heard about in all of the preceding books. Like Wendlyn, magic remained here when it was wiped from Erilea, but it is a different type of magic than what we saw in the eastern continent as there aren’t Fae here. While reading it gives you the impression that the author was inspired by Asian, South American, and Native American culture that I hope to see represented if this ever becomes made into films or a series. I had an amazing time reading the story through Nesryn, Chaol, and Yrenes’ eyes and I really look forward to hopefully getting to experience more narrative from  their perspectives in the seventh and final book. Learning more about the magic of the southern continent from Yrene, rooting for Chaol as he tries to get the use of his legs back, and experiencing adventure with Nesryn had me finishing Tower of Dawn in three days. This is impressive even for me considering that it is over six hundred pages. They were six hundred of the best pages I have ever read and I might even say that it could be my favorite book in the series after Empire of Storms, which I also loved. Come back next week to see what I have to say about the final book, Kingdom of Ash.
