Chaol Westfall goes to Antica in the hopes of rallying troops for the war against Maeve and Erawan. He is also hoping that he can be healed of his paralysis by the well-known healers of Antica. The royalty isn’t pleased to see Chaol and they aren’t anxious to join the war, but with the help of Nesryn, Chaol’s Captain of the Guard, the two are hoping to help the Antica people see the threat that will make it’s way to their country if they don’t get involved. What Chaol doesn’t expect is to get involved with his healer, Yrene Towers.
This is a side story to the larger epic story of the Throne of Glass. I enjoyed Chaol and Yrene’s stories because lately most of the Throne of Glass series feels like a ton of characters and a lot of war strategy and battles. It was nice to concentrate more on specific characters and they have good chemistry. At the same time, this book is frustrating because the end of book five is a major cliff hanger, so this just felt like a drawn-out diversion from the main story. This series, including this book, should not be advertised to young adults. The characters don’t act in any way like teenagers, even if some of their ages are eighteen. Most of the characters are hundreds of years old fae, etc. The content includes on page sex, violence and other sexual references.
