In this episode of the Reading Materials Podcast, we journey to the Southern Continent with Tower of Dawn and dive deep into the revelations and relationships that redefine the series.

We unpack the bombshell twist that Maeve is Valg, we vent our continuing frustration with Chaol as his healing arc tests everyone’s patience, and we talk through why Yrene’s choices left us more disappointed than inspired.

From political intrigue to personal upheaval, we explore how this installment expands the world, reframes key characters, and sets the stage for the explosive finale to come.
