A lot of things I really liked, from being in the Fading Lands, to the tairen, to Rain and Ellysetta's relationship, to the plot really kicking off. But I hate villain perspectives, and the pacing was uncomfortable. The first three quarters were rambling, much like the first two books, but then the last quarter has more happen than in the first three combined. I was thrown by how tense and stressful it became out of nowhere and I started skimming through parts. Haven't decided if I'll read the next one, because I'm concerned the things I didn't like are going to come to the forefront.
