    Tower of Dawn – Sarah J Maas

    Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Tower of Dawn is the sixth book in the Throne of Glass series, although it was originally intended to be a novella. Chaol’s story grew until it was a fully fledged narrative itself and deserved its own proper entry into this series.…
