itsising 's review for:
Towers of Midnight
by Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan
I liked the story, and the character development within. Gosh forbid I even found myself not wanting every Whitecloak character to be erased from history with balefire for the first time since Book 2.
I was continuously confused by the timeline however. It seemed like the story was happening at 3 different paces and at three different times for the characters. There would be a chapter from Perrin or Rotel's POV that was days behind one from Egwene's POV, and that was a day or so behind one from Min's POV. My only complaint, and the reason it wasn't a 5⭐ book for me.
An update after a 2nd reading: I did not remember the time jumps and they were just as confusing for their inclusion the second time through. Other random spoiler-free thoughts... this was a really strong book for the secondary and ancillary characters; I cried after every scene with the Golden Crane (again); Aviendha's visions hit different the second time; heckin' snakes and foxes.
