I never rated this book beforehand- took me nearly a year to come back to it. This is a very short review, but I had many issues with this story. I loved Manorian (together and separate even though I know a bunch despised them together), Elide, Lorcan, and even Lysandra. They were my highs for this story. Though with Aelin, Rowan, and Aedion I had some heavy issues with their actions/ treatment of certain characters. It's downright derating sometimes what they say to characters in the process of healing, and it was disgusting to see so many still cheer for these characters.
The reason it gets 3 is because I enjoyed the writing, and I loved the characters I mentioned. I'm hoping Tower of Dawn lives up to my expectations because CHAOL AND NESRYN AND IYRENE *happy dance*! I am ready for more diversity in the Southern Continent! I am ready for this book to redeem EOS.
Edit: I decided this over a year and a half to two years ago, but I am not continuing on with this series due to my issues within books QOS and EOS. I heard from Tumblr loads of dissent in regards to KOA, so my decision was solidified in that moment.
