Overall,
So much happened in this book. As the 5th book in the series all of the main characters are growing and learning and maturing into the positions they find themselves in. Props to Robert Jordan for writing SO MANY SIDE characters and keeping them straight. As of right now Mat is still my favorite character, the reluctant hero. Rand and Aviendha in the snow, Eguane putting Nyneve in her place, Elayne and Nyneve learning all the new things. I missed Perrin this book and didnt get enough of Min. I am obviously going to continue the series, I can see why this is so beloved through time.

Another book turns the Wheel a bit further. This one had a twist I didn't see coming. It's the first time in Wheel of Time I felt Jordan took a risk that could convince some to give up. But an epic about good and evil doesn't have high stakes without casualties on both sides. "The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills." Keep going!
