I enjoyed reading this book: the worldbuilding is cool and the characters are nice and all, but I kept wondering whether the author accomplished every single similarity by heart or did he have Tolkien's work on the side? My personal favorites are a) magic camouflage cloak; b) group of 9 people that go on an adventure, eventually getting separated into smaller groups and somehow the old paternal dude dies (but not really); c) this place under a "Shadow" where nature is corrupted, it's really hot, it smells bad and scary things live there. Sounds familiar. I could go on, but I think the fact that I noticed there was actually a kingdom called Andor on the map when I flipped the first pages, considering I kept reading anyway, means that there are enough positive aspects in this book for it to be worth my time.

- sooo okay. starting the wheel of time. I DID really enjoy the scope of the world, and the characters, and the clear history.
- that said, it was very slow. the middle of this book dragged. it’s the very definition of travel fantasy log… which I struggle with
- I love the characters though
- okay I know it’s setting up
Lan and Nynaeve to be together, but maybe it’s the enemies to lovers fan in me but I’m shippingMat and Nynaeve - not enough was done with Rand and Egwene’s build up, like they just already liked each other and everyone knew… that said, I LOVE Egwene. I wish we got more of her POV than the first chapter. she’s so real
- Rand kind of grated on me… his pov was the worst. I have a feeling he’ll grow on me though
- I THINK Morraine is trustworthy but she’s hiding secrets and it’s stressing me out
- I keep thinking… I love the whole main cast… but surely one of them is a Darkfriend just the way stories go… but I trust and love them all so I hope not
- I know everyone online is obsessed with Mat but actually he annoyed me too I’m like grow up and stop being dumb
- I NEED a sword training montage for Rand next book
- Oh also I can’t wait for Elaine and her brother, I have a feeling they’ll become bigger characters and I love them
- I’m looking forward to future books because I’ve heard it gets really good but I did have to force my way through most of this
