  In this sixth installment of The Throne of Glass series, we get to follow along with Chaol and Nesryn as they head south to Antica in hopes to beseech the healers of the Torre to help Chaol heal from his injuries. Along with the healing they also have a mission to try and convince the rulers of Antica to send their armies North and to ally with Aelin's armies. Along with the painful healing of his, spine Chaol has to endure, he must also confront and come to terms with what had happened in his past. Only when he starts to forgive himself for the errors of that past does the healing actually begin to make a dent in the long process of repairing his spine so he can walk again. A new character we meet in Tower of Dawn is Yrene Towers, she is the healer given the responsibility of healing Chaol. A task that she does not want to take on, but urged to by her Healer on High. Before even meeting Chaol she has a bad attitude about him just because of where he is from and who he served. If

We see Celaena return to her own continent for vengeance, and then to take back the kingdom that was taken from her. Celaena must confront her former master, savior, and condemner.

Trapped by his own father, "for his own good." She will fight for her people that were enslaved by the king, awaiting their true queen's return.

  Aelin Galathynius, or otherwise known as Celaena Sardothian's path back to her throne has just begun. With many favors to be called in, loyalties that she has earned or bought, she will begin building an army to stand up to Erawan and the Valg demons. She has lost many friends and loved ones along the way. Many who had sacrificed themselves for Aelin, to survive, or to come to realize that it is she who must carry this burden. With war looming, Aelin must travel far and wide to gain allies. For any hope of a future, she must bring all nations together to fight Erawan and his armies of mutant creations he has amassed over the past decades. Aelin's transformation from assassin to queen has been followed by millions of people. All rooting for her to reclaim her throne and live happily ever after. If this is to be true remains to be seen though. An overwhelming amount of work and luck must be had to accomplish this goal. I personally don't know if it will be possible for Aeli

  Lost and broken, a true picture of depression, Celeana must travel to a new land across the sea. All she truly wants to do is stay and avenge the brutal murder of her dear friend Nehemia.

She must face a truth to her heritage that could change her life and her future forever. Back on her own continent, evil is brewing. Something old and powerful, ready to strike down any who would stand against it. With this ancient power's claws already ensnared in Rifthold, it seeks to take over the world. Celaena must conquer her demons and prepare to fight the evil that is about to be unleashed. Celaena grabs onto her destiny, and burns bright with her refound powers. A force to be reckoned with, capable of shaking the stars themselves. Another excellent read from Sarah J. Maas. Full of intrigue and action, Celaena's character grows in leaps and bounds.

  So Celaena did it, she won the king's contest and so became the king's champion, or royal assassin. The King of Adarlan is an evil man and wields his power to intimidate. Scaring his court and his people into compliance. Those who supposedly rebel against him will find Celaena's dagger to their throats. Well, that's what the king believes anyway. Celaena is not as loyal to the crown as she pretends to be. A secret she hides from her closest allies. Trying to keep her secret becomes more deadly however when she comes across a true rebellion against the crown. Will she stomp it out before it becomes a threat? Or join with them to help destroy the dark king of Adarlan and the tyranny he beholds. Are her relationships strong enough to handle the secrets she must keep, or will they crumble apart at her fingertips? She is not the only one keeping secrets it seems, and to keep the secrets of others safe she has to face threat after threat. Will magic keep her and her friends
