Once again Jordan's worldbuilding and character development are fantastic. I heard this was the start of "the slog" but I actually thought the pacing and the pieces of the puzzle that came together in this book really kept me invested. Pretty much the last 200 or 300 pages of the book were absolutely phenomenal.

Minor: Gore, Vomit, and War

There is a very uncomfortable relationship dynamic between an older woman and younger man, and it is not handled very well.

She has non-consensual sex with him and most of his female friends laugh it off.

it is not sexually explicit, but it is emotionally explicit, and could potentially be very triggering. A large chunk of one character's chapters focus on that for a while.
