Our wrap-up of Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas ends on a high note (as compared to Empire of Storms). In the second half, SJM delights us, then destroys us, with helpless baby ruks 🥺. Yrene and Chaol attend a very dramatic party in The Oasis for a covert mission of their own. And a fun race across the desert ensues on a hell-horse called Farasha, or “Butterfly.” There are bloodline secrets, and the truth about the spiders is revealed.
