I like the plot, but boy is it a slow slog. It could have been half as thick if the author didn't spend five sentences where one would have accomplished the same.

I really enjoyed this book. The beginning was a little slow for me but the inciting incident captured and held my attention. I love how developed and strong the female characters are. I think they add a lot to this story. There is a lot of great world building. Also, the interactions, or comparisons I guess, that Perrin and Rand have are just so funny and I loved that they kept coming up.

I think I’ll continue with the series later on down the line.

Some parts were fascinating, and other parts were incredibly slow. I want to know where the story goes from here, but the pacing issues give me pause.
