I now understand why this is a lot of people's favourite in the series. This one out of all of them kept me enthralled until the end. Chaol had his redemption.
I really enjoyed the premises of the book. The glaring issue for me was that the MC obviously has some past trauma of issues with her mom that, while obviously don't need to be resolved, they weren't even really touched on? Ox had some good character growth, but Emmie really didn't have any.
I couldn't finish the book, I loved the plot, the feel, the character building. But it was way too predictable for me unfortunately and about halfway through I had to see if I was right. Spoiler I was very right. I'm still giving it a two stars, as it's an atmosphere I love, but maybe I've just read too many books like this lol
