The salt of Dorian’s and Chaol’s tears replaced the salt of Endovier […]

That is one of the worst sentences I’ve ever read. Maas needs to reel back the melodrama so much, like almost completely.

And Choal realised that it was indeed a queen standing before them, not the assassin he'd dragged out of a salt mine a few miles down the road.

I feel like I've read this sentiment from Chaol, Dorian—everyone else—a handful of times EACH book, and every time its played like an epiphany. We know.

I also enjoyed Peter Jackson's LOTR's trilogy, but this goes beyond homage.

For the love of god, pick up the pace! Everybody is just moseying about the map talking strategies. Move along!
