After (somehow) pushing through the slog, this book is such a welcome read. Knife of Dreams was already a nice improvement, but nothing extraordinary. This however, is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite Wheel of Time book so far. Sanderson came in and handled everything pretty much perfectly. Probably better than how Jordan would have wrote this book, in my humble opinion. I'm particularly impressed with how Rand was written, and his character finally resonated with me.
I'm glad to say I'm pumped to be reading Wheel of Time again, and I'm ready to see how this series wraps up.
