classic robert jordan ragebaits me with character frustration for 500 pages and then grips me with oh god several things are happening. he is very good at driving me forward with this combo of frustrating moments and glorious moments
it's hard to tell how much of my frustration with characters' actions is deliberate (satisfying) and how much is genuine frustration with some somewhat... conservative choices, but then again those rarely turn out as bad as i'm anticipating so maybe it is actually more the former. regardless it is keeping me reading so good job rj
i did feel likerand and sammael's fight at the end was kind of anticlimactic... rand just runs around the city for ages dodging lightning and then the other evil thing gets sammael? its sus your honour . so many questions were raised at the end... what is going on

I am really enjoying these books and some of the character development. Mat is finally becoming a human I don't always want to strangle. I do miss hearing more about Perrin.
Some of the action seems to happen without a lot of warning or expectation on the part of the reader. I'm not sure how I feel about that. In some ways it's nice to not have every next step predictable. In others, the sheer number of characters and places to keep track of on top of sudden introduction of new ones or reappearance of old ones and the bigger plot twists can make these books kind of disorienting and hard to follow. I'm still enjoying them. I just feel lost from time to time.

I really think this one could have been only a few chapters long. Writing 1000 pages for what amounted to a few bullet points of plot development felt cruel and unusual.
(frantically deleting every scene with Mat and Tylin from my brain) wow, what a good installment in the wheel of time!
