Well, that was surely something. Gods, I was almost sobbing during the climax of the book where the Thing happened. And that plot twist had me on the edge of my seat! SJM just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see how all of this plays into the last book! As always, I'm going to do a huge review/discussion but right now I need to process what I just read and go through some of it once more to wrap my mind around it. So many new characters, though, guys! So many! Some of my favourites include Duva, Kashin, Sartaq, Falkan, Kadara and Borte. AND YRENE AND NESRYN AND CHAOL WERE THE BEST. I used to dislike Nesryn but now I love her. Her going back home made me so emotional and I was grinning. Also I've always loved Chaol. And Yrene was just amazing. Her storyline is amazing and full of hope. Also, if you're worried about sex scenes, ToD wasn't full of them. It was very tame compared to her other books. Apart from that, I'll keep all the other info for my spoilery discussion!
