![]() ![]() Chaol goes to appeal to the rulers and healers of Antica - for the former to ally with Dorian, and the latter to heal him and help him walk again. The events of this book occur alongside the events of Empire of Storms, filling in the blanks of Chaol's adventures on the Southern continent. The romance is predictable, and I'll spoiler tag it but it should come as a surprise to no one that Chaol magically recovers from the disability that put him in a wheelchair. You can sum Tower of Dawn up as an overlong healing process with a love story. but here I thought the story really lacked something. The poor representation of marginalized characters, the frankly creepy obsession with "manhood" and "maleness", the nauseating and repeated descriptions of characters' beauty. ![]() It wasn't awful, but many parts were boring. But it's kind of hard to tear apart the personality of a beloved character, turn them into someone whiny and bland, then try to create a whole 672-page book out of their perspective. ![]()
