This one was hard for me to get through. I didn’t love reading any of the POVs that much in this book. I really enjoyed Mat and the ending was fantastic. It just felt like nothing happened until the end and
reading Nynaeve’s POV was just so annoying to get through. Like I get that you’re going through stuff and have a lot of self doubt but oh my god.
and the “ugh men, what can you do” and the “ugh women, what can you do” was really just hammered over and over like yes I get it you don’t understand the opposite sex

I really enjoyed this one! It was cool to see the girls getting to spend time at the circus/fair? Always love when we get their perspective! Than add the guys and the new girl that joined them and that group is my favorite by far in this book! (i’m trying to speak cryptically if you haven’t already read it, don’t wanna give too much away )

Continuing to love the dream sequences, that adds such an interesting layer to this epic world! How does the magic keep expanding?!? Robert Jordan has so many ideas!!

And I was fascinated to see a little bit of Elaine‘s mom‘s perspective, interested to see where that will take us!
Also I totally called that Gabriel was going to be some sort of evil dude!! Did anyone else think that?


My only big disappointment with this book is we didn’t get to see/spend any time with Perrin and his new wife or the Ogre (if that’s how you spell it) truly miss seeing them!!

Ps I really hope Egwene doesn’t become a know it all?!? She was one of my favorite characters!
Pss
I’m so excited to see where Lan will go, and who he will be a warder to!!! also I don’t believe Moiraine is dead, perhaps just in an alternate place, that’s my guess!
