This was then times better than CoT same with the pacing. The first three hundred pages were a little slogy but then you get to Rand's chapters and things got so good. Chapter 19 is one of my favorite chapters of this saga and what more is Rand going to get through like let him breathe? I’m glad Min and Nynaeve are at his side same with Egwene and what the towers are doing to her. I still don’t like Tuon and Perrin was getting on my nerves with “Faile is the only thing that matters” It was getting repetitive and boring. Mat was excellent as always but the spanking was crazy in this book. Those last two hundred pages were amazing and the last 40 pages were gag after gag.

I’m so sorry for the fans that waited a year for this I would have been mad as hell and this was an Egwene downfall book like she was supposed to become better than the Aes Sedai and Nynaeve you are always going to be that girl. This is the only book I consider a “slog” because this was abismal not even Rand chapters can save this book.

Was being a teenager this cheesy. Them expecting him to choose them when he only knew them for like four hours was just ridiculous and they judged him and when he did the same back he was the bad guy. We all need a Darren in our lives.

This was a gag fest like the intrigue and twist were crazy. Those last two hundred pages were pure plot twists one after another and I’m always going to be team Grayson.

Chapter 12 one of the most beautiful chapter of this saga like tiers were running through my face. THE ENDING was so good and amazing like had me on the each of my bed and people calling this books a slog is just crazy to me like I’m having the time of life.

This book infuriated me so badly and was so devastating. Those last chapters felt like I was running a marathon and was not sure if I was going to win. Men and their fragile masculinity and violence are the problems of every society. Yes, it was the 80s but we just want to live in peace like everyone else. The mother sending him on that trip was just irresponsible and stupid. Like how can people be this fuck up and these children were so neglected. Mungo and James just deserved everything and what they had was beautiful. That last page made me sob so bad.

This was so good and I’m so ready for Rhythm of War. I want to learn more about the Unkalaki and the Sleepless so I expect I see more of them on RoW and the Aimians are like the Kandra of Roshar. The characters from this one were so lovely like The Lopez, RYSN, Cord, Huio, and Rushu were so good as a group.

This one feels like RJ was setting things for the other books like things were a little more child and yes it was slow but it still was enjoyable. Seeing Egwene moving her chess with the council and putting them in place was so satisfying and I love her arc in this book. Elayne finally got to Andor to proclaim the throne and I need to say that her chapter at the beginning were difficult to get through we deserve an award for being able to get through them. Rand's chapters are amazing as always and love that we see him doing battle plans and being in battle. That Callandor chapter was just sad and crazy. What Min said to Rand at the end of chapter 29 crushed my heart so hard. Fedwin was just a child and Rand needed to let himself mourn. I think the last time he mourned someone was Moraine and it has been three books of that like let my boy cry. Those last chapter look like things are going down in Winter’s Heart.

This was so good and had me hooked from the very beginning and intrigued by the mystery, the boys (I’m team Grayson), the puzzles and Avery I just need my girl to win. The pacing was excellent and the ending left me wanting more. You guys need to get ready for an exciting ride, with tricky puzzles, a love triangle that'll keep you guessing, and family drama that adds an extra layer of suspense. It's a crazy adventure that'll leave you wanting more.
