Leaving my old review below. But I am removing my current rating due to DNFing the franchise due to (mostly) everything surrounding the Seanchan.

I really enjoyed the subversion of the call-to-adventure of the Hero's Journey. Great cast of characters. While some things felt either dragged on or extremely coincidental, I loved how things came together at the end of the book.
