All I have to say about TOD is "Meh, whatever". This is another transitional book for this series, and honestly I was bored. And before you ask, yes it's because the book is largely about Chaol and no it has nothing to do with this book being largely about Chaol. OKAY?!

I did the tandem read with Empire of Storms, and thank god for that because (and I know I said this in my EOS review too, so shut up) if I had read TOD after finishing the bombshell that was EOS I would've been personally knocking on Mrs. SJM's door asking for a refund. Was this a bad book? No not really, but it was certainly not of the same caliber as EOS.

I really like Yrene and I think she's too good for Chaol. A lot of people seem to like that Chaol gets his somewhat happy ending here, but I love to hold a grudge so I'm not buying it. I'm glad Nesryn moved on, but her and Sartaq's story line was boringgggg.

I don't know, I just wasn't feeling the holy spirit with this one. I really think the #5 and #6 books should have been switched, because the EOS ending feels like a much better lead up for the final book in the series. Better luck next time SJM.
