Publisher's summary

In the next installment of the New York Times best-selling Throne of Glass series, follow Chaol on his sweeping journey to a distant empire.

Chaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the captain of the Guard. But all of that has changed since the glass castle shattered, since his men were slaughtered, since the king of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken.

His only shot at recovery lies with the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme in Antica - the stronghold of the southern continent's mighty empire. And with war looming over Dorian and Aelin back home, their survival might lie with Chaol and Nesryn convincing its rulers to ally with them.

But what they discover in Antica will change them both - and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined.

another great story

I really love the main characters, but being able to fall in love with a few new ones was great, too. and it tied perfectly with the previous book, pulling together strings to weave a marvelous story web. I can't wait for the next one.

another epic installment!

Sarah J Maas nails it again. I laughed, I cried (like a baby) and got totally sucked in AGAIN!! Non stop listened to this audiobook and am hungry for more! I wish I didn't have to wait for the next one, I'm so hopelessly addicted and a year is a long time in the desert with no water ;) I suppose I can just reread the entire series again as well as her other ultra amazing series starring the beautiful Feyre to pass the time... but in all seriousness; this audiobook is worth every cent and I will treasure all of these books for years to come. I am absolutely enthralled with SJM more and more with every book I read. Her unique and clever writing style, the character and world development and most especially her intricate way of weaving a tale and the endless well played twists and turns that often leave surprised tears in my eyes or a giant smile on my face (I'm still smirking about the scene on Rolf's ship with Caleana and that bowl of rubies from the last book!). While I usually appreciate books that give me as much as 5 times more listening hours than other books for the same credit I find that sometimes the books can be too dry, too descriptive or needlessly long but with every single SJM book I feel almost bereft when I'm done, so non existent is the boredom even after nearly 30hrs of listening. I really can't say enough how much I love these books and even though I was hesitant about this one being from different characters POV than the other books and not including Aelin at all, I was very pleasantly surprised with the fact that it fits in very naturally with the series and may be one of the best so far. Highly recommend!! ALL of the thumbs, way up in the air!

Pleasantly Surprised!!

This Book is all about Chaol & Nesyrn’s journey. And what a journey it is. It has the introduction of several major key characters. And reveals vital information that will make your jaw drop as it did mine. Even though we still have no idea what’s going on withAulin The story provided is rich with intrigue, scheming, nailbiting horror, and of course romance. I enjoyed this book very much to my great surprise. Because I thought I really would be upset that we have no idea what’s going on with Aelin, Rowan, Dorian... but this book in itself was an adventure.

Does Not Compare to the Rest of this Garbage Serie

Basically, the other 4 books in The Glass series are horrendous wastes of time; FULL of plot holes, info-dumping, clumsy pacing, stupid character, inconsistent characterization, etc. The problem is Aelin. Tower of Dawn does not focus on her, and is a masterpiece. Chaol's journey is satisfying.
