book.
I was completely hooked from the beginning to the very end.(might be a slow start for some but I loved the anticipation).Turn of events in this book were much more intriguing than in the first. World building is amazing as usual, immersion is top-notch and the last couple of chapters brought me consistent goosebumps, especially the one named 'What Might Be'. Characters are still pretty much the same being obstinate or suspicious about everyone however, so if you were expecting them to change compared to how they were in the first, it won't happen, especially since the events take place soon after the first book. I didn't feel much drag except for a little in the middle where Rand gets (view spoiler) but we don't talk about that :D I just loved those final chapters so much that I don't care about any issues it had, but I have no doubt that this one improves upon the first book nonetheless.

Again, much like the first book, I like the active subversion of the call to adventure with many of the main heroes rejecting or denying their role in things and many of their fears of being forced into those roles coming out. While it does use common fantasy tropes (dualities of light/dark, man/woman), I do like the consistent theme of happenstance that isn't actually happenstance and the inspiration drawn from various religion, mythology, and real-world events.

One of my owned books
As good as the first book. Not super excited to continue.
Review previously placed on my blog:
I'm currently reading The great hunt by Robert Jordan. This is the second book in the Wheel of time series.
