I’m rereading ToG at the moment, and decided to look into the best, or most cohesive way to read it. Last time I read them as they were published, but so far I’m doing the ‘Romantic’ order. I’m also considering doing a tandem read of Tower of Dawn and Empire of Storms when I get to them, because someone on tiktok mentioned they did! But I have no idea if that is too ambitious or not.

Check out this blog I found, if you haven’t yet and are interested in reading order or tandem reading!

I’m done with the second book! And again I want to share som thoughts. You might want to avoid this if you have yet to read Crown of Midnight.

Crown of Midnight is a pretty good second book? Often times I find sequels boring, or I think they ruin the story from the first book by making up a lot of unnecessary drama. But CoM is good! It might have some slower parts, but I love that we get to explore the friendship with Nehemia more, and watch as Celeana actually works as the kings champion. I also loooove how we start to figure out Dorians powers? Idk, I know many don’t like him but so far in my re-read I still love him so much. Chaol on the other hand… Like, I don’t think it’s his fault, with his parents and how he was raised and stuff. But he misses. Even if his initial thoughts and intentions were good. I’m very happy we’re not gonna be romantically involved with him going forward lol. I also forgot we learn Celeana is fae and her royal heritage already at the end of this book? But that scene in the portal is truly an iconic moment. I loved reading that the first time around!

And at last. I still can’t believe we loose Nehemia in this book. That woman is single-handedly my favourite character in the entire series. I actually haven’t read the last book yet, at all (don’t come for me!), so I don’t know what happens there. But I wish Nehemia at least was more involved from the spirit realm, or wherever she is now. Like Elena during the first book. That would have been so good! And give her purpose beyond being «the tragic death that kick starts Celeanas journey into self-acceptance and embracing of destiny». Like wth!?

Now I’m very excited for the next book, last time I read ToG, Heir of Fire was my favourite! I also have to figure out if I should read Assasins Blade first…
