Torre do Alvorecer (Trono de Vidro, #5.5)

“I am a broken man. I have always been a broken man.”

Chaol used to define himself by his physical strength. Seeing him rebuild his identity from a wheelchair feels incredibly honest.

“She would not be afraid.”

Yrene Towers spent years running from her past. Watching her find her own magic in a foreign city is so satisfying.

“He was a corpse who had forgotten to die.”

Healing isn't just about fixing a spine. It's about Yrene forcing Chaol to face the guilt he carries for leaving his men.
