Probably the best of the series so far.
Really enjoyed this one. Had a nice battle feel to it. Rand and Matt are growing out of the afraid children roles into major players with agendas in the battle of good and evil.

Conflicted…… For most of the book I was insistent on giving it a 3, I was sure a good ending wasn’t gonna make me fold this time, but it did. Probably the best ending so far, so many cliffhangers, but so good. The last 15% of the book was so easy to get through, but the rest…
Too much detail, too many plotlines that no one cares about, just too much. I can’t expect the whole book to be as fast-paced as the ending, but I’m expecting to not be bored either. Why do I need to read two whole chapters of Nynaeve and others leaving that town? When nothing eventful happened other than the mini fight at the docks? I REALLY don’t care. Did we need two pages explaining how the captain hated women…..? Did we need chapters and chapters of build up for a battle with the most boring villian so far? No. The battle was nice, sure, but nothing life changing. Just so much fat that needed trimming, how did it get past the editing stage… I didn’t even mind any of the plotlines, I didn’t mind Nynaeve and Elayne being with a circus, just the execution was so bad (for the most part). On paper, the story of the book seems fun, so I don’t know who was trying to convince him that it needed to be 900 pages. It really didn’t.
Here and there there were great chapters but a lot of it was just moving chess pieces around to set up the last stage of the book. It’s redundant to keep saying it every book but it was so apparent this book because nothing new about the world was revealed, just shuffling the pieces already existing. In the first three books, even when everyone was travelling, new lore drops here and there kept it going. But now that we discovered a lot about the world and it didn’t rely on revealing mysteries (I’m sure they’ll keep coming), the author just had nothing interesting to say while shuffling those people around. I don’t expect deep introspective philosophy in fantasy books, but if you have nothing of substance to say please keep the plot moving <3
I’ll give it a 4 ONLY because of the ending, because for the most part it’s a 3 star book with the most interesting thing being the title of the book. Sometimes the idea of the Wheel of Time is so much better than actually reading it. I hope I don’t get this bored in the next book, at least I know the slog will be a slog.

3.5 stars. For that “ending”. So many twists. But the rest was very slow moving.

Ta mi się naprawdę podobała. Pewnie dlatego, że były w niej tylko dwa główne wątki, jeden z Randem i Matem i drugi z Nynaeve i Elayne. Nie było też praktycznie żadnych wypychaczy. Nynaeve nadal jest nie do zniesienia, ale przynajmniej ona sama zaczyna to zauważać w niektórych momentach. Ciekawe co porabia Perrin...
