I did like this book a lot this time around. It has its problems, but every book in this series so far has its problems. This book doesn't have much forward plot progression, but there is a feeling of chess pieces being moved on a board, so I think in future books I will be able to look back on this one and really appreciate what happened here.
That being said, this book had my least favorite plot arc so far: Ebou Dar. Specifically, the whole Mat and Tylin mess, which plenty of othe reviewers have commented on. To balance that out, I did really enjoy both Rand and Egwene's chapters in this book, and thought in general there was a lot of great character work here. I'm still looking forward to more!

Other than that, I enjoyed it for the most part but boy is this series long and winding! How does everyone keep track of all these names?? Between our main cast of characters, the Aiel, the various nobles of Cairhien, Tear, and Caemlyn, Whitecloaks, Ebou Darians, various Darkfriends/Forsaken, Aes Sedai, & Ashaman, I am having serious issues keeping up. I similarly have trouble keeping the MANY nations & peoples straight, not to mention the plot points. There’s so much distrust and intrigue between the various forces that I also struggle to remember who knows what. This is now just a litany of complaints but I stand by them. I enjoy the process of reading but between the beginning and end of this book, it doesn’t feel like we’ve gotten very far.

This was another slog of an installment from this series. I think three important things happen? The gender politics, while interesting world building in book one, has been pushed to it's most stereotypical and patronizing.
