Fantastic story

I wasn’t sure at first if I wanted to read Chaol’s story but I’m glad I did as it was very enjoyable. There are a host of new characters as it’s set in a new location which were pretty much likeable. One will turn out to be an important character in the next/final book. Things happen in the final third of the book which you will need to know going into the last book so I’d recommend reading/listening to this. Finally Elizabeth Evans is brilliant, made the story more engrossing as she did a fantastic job.

Stick with it!

With reading the recent reviews of this book i really did not want to listen to it, being left on a cliffhanger with the last book i just wanted to get the info from this book and jump straight in to the final book. But i did decide to listen to this and i am glad that it did.

Although it's a very slow start going from the previous book, it does pick up and I'd say the second half of this is so worth the listen with the additional characters that this book brings and how it ties loose ends from previous books together.

Amazing

Thrilling, breathtaking, amazing story. At the same time it is a heartbreaking close-up of a man with a broken back and his long journey to piecing himself together, physically and mentally😭😭😭

I love Sahara J Mass but…

I’m not a fan of Chaol and having an entire book about it was painful at the start. Great story arc though and it definitely picks up in the middle. I think my review is a bit biased because I don’t like Chaol

Slow build but good, good twists and important for whole series but Empire was better

As above, was great, great parts and surprises but after empire of storms. It’s good not great, but recommend buying both and doing the tandem read or listen, chapter guide is online

takes a long time to get going but it's worth it

So I definitely struggled to get into this book. A lot of the first half of the book is about Yrene healing Chaol, which was fine but should have been shorter. Nesryn and Sartaq's part of the book was what kept me going because I found them more interesting until I got to about chapter 20 I think where Chaol and Yrene's story picked up the pace.
I would recommend listening to this at a fast speed if you can to get through most of Part 1. I found that the story got going a few chapters before Part 2 began. Not that it wasn't interesting it was just slow. The audiobook was really well preformed and I really enjoyed listening to it between reading the paperback.
I really ended up enjoying this book so much more than I thought.
I would say that you need to read this book before reading Kingdom of Ash. I know that Chaol isn't a lot of people's favourite character, he isn't mine and I dreading reading a book about him but I ended up really loving this book.
