This has been my favorite of the WoT series by far. I’m going to take a break between this one and the next one, but both the character development and plot development in this one really takes a lift off in this one. It was just so immersive I didn’t want to put it down. I read it slowly and enjoyed every second of it.

Life got in the way, and after five books I wanted something different

I'm so enthralled in this universe and it's genuinely such a pleasure to listen to it. I absolutely love the magic system and I love the characters. This book really felt like a turning point in the story, and things are picking UP. Like, wow. Things are happening. Like a lot. Shit's crazy. Which makes sense considering the next book will be the halfway point in the series. Can't wait to continue!

One of the best up until now. Great politics, great character moments.

These are really generous three stars. The first half of the book was the slowest so far in the series and although the second half did pick up in pace and there were a few reveals, it could not even the first half out. And I'm sad to announce that Elayne and Faile are my least favourite characters. I really can't understand this childish behaviour and sometimes with their attitude, it reads more like a YA. I really hope the next book shows me a bit more character development of them.
