I may need more time to determine if I actually like these characters and this series now or if I’m being gaslit. Is this sunk cost fallacy? Have I spent too much time and money that I now have to like it? Or is it actually good? I’ll go with the latter.
I honestly loved this. Very little Rand (10/10 Rand usage in this book). He fucks off at the 10% mark and disappears for the most part until the end. He is so boring please kill him.
I like how the separate plots all are interesting and weave together for a great end. Very Sanderlanche. Very good.
I love Nynaeve, Elayne, and Egwene. Still the most interesting characters. Give me magic. Give me matriarchal societies. Give me prodigies who are the best to ever do it. Give me scheming and manipulation. Give me girl friendship. Give me hating man energy. I love them; they are the definition of slay. Fuck it throw Moraine in there too. She’s great.
Lan and Loial are runner ups. They’re great but pretty underused. Lan especially has been pushed aside for the last two books. I need more warder action. Maybe once the girls are strong enough to get warders of their own.
Matt redemption arc!! Sort of. I mean, in my eyes. He was boring and whiney, and now he’s funny and cool. Major hot, hunk energy from him. Himbo in training. I love his power; it is so fun. He has a goofy little saying? I fuck with his energy.
Perrin also gets some sick development. Good for him getting a girl. Never thought he would do it (I don’t trust her at all). I love that he’s a giant that is scared that he is so big he’s going to hurt people. Like dude you can’t be THAT big you’re just a boy. He is gentle and kind hearted and this world is too cruel for him.
Crazy good ending. No spoilers, but like I fucked with that ending. Very fun. Very end of the season but I can’t wait for the next one kind of vibe. They literally do the thing where the list all the things they still need to do. “Stick around folks there’s still lots of evil to slay”
I need Padan Fain to come back. He is my favorite little weasel.
I actually love this series now and am so glad that I still have *checks* 11 books to go.
