Everything in & around Rhuidean (just a handful of the 50-something chapters) was what kept me from dnfing. The development of the worldbuilding & lore in these chapters & how they related back to Rand & the philosophical questions they posed was really interesting & engaging. Almost everything else was a slog.

I read the last two books of Wheel of Time back to back and I’m tired. Two long, action packed books with my favorite characters growing and learning. I will finish the series, by Light, but I do need a pause for now.

Two really solid plot lines, one not-so-solid. All in all another great addition to the series.
