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.

I want to be like Tress when I grow up she was so fierce, intelligent, and compassionate so good as a protagonist, and loved all the lore that Brandon threw in this book. Knowing more about Hoid and the Dragon had me so excited we need that Yolen trilogy. Sazed mention made me jump from my bed and it took me a minute to realize that the doctor was a Kandra and that their now exploring the Cosmere. I need to know what are the implications of Sazed not controlling them anymore and that reveal gagged me like I didn’t see it coming at all.

The hype was a little crazy and I find it a okay book in the Cosmere.

This was so good and much better than LoC. I was so interested in everyone's storylines and groups. My two complaints were the passing like this was shorter than the others but took me much more time to read it. The other was that Mat storyline that just was nasty and cruel. Loved Mat and Elayne's interaction and how they are starting to respect each other same with Mat and Birgitte. Rand and Min were so good too I love those two so much oh and Rand needs to stop thinking that he’s unstoppable like the thing that happened to him in this book was because of his stupidity like that chapter 34 had me in shambles and that last chapter was crazy.

Those last 180 pages were crazy like they were so good. I was expecting more from the games which was a little disappointing and I need to say that with those last chapters, Coryo is kinda iconic yes he’s a bad person but his determination to get to where I wanted was just crazy. I would love to know what happen with Lucy that open ending for her pissed me off. Coryo saying that “She could fly around District 12 all she liked, but she and her Mockingjay could never harm him again.” Had me laughing so hard because the irony and I love that Lucy got her lick back thanks to Katniss.

This was amazing a little too long but amazing. The shit that Rand goes through in his last chapters crushed my heart. Perrin finally makes his comeback and he’s so iconic love to see him keep crowing the same with Mat. The girls were amazing as always although they get on my nerves sometimes like they get to be so unbearable sometimes. The ending was just incredible seeing the Asha’man on battle showing how strong they are and then what happens with the Aes Sedai was so satisfying to see and Rand fulfill another prophecy. 

“On a day of fire and blood and the One Power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.”

It takes me some time to go through this book and I don’t feel as connected as I did with the others and I feel like I would enjoy it more if a read it at another time.

5.0

You guys don’t understand the rage, sadness, happiness, and joy this book gives me. This was a big slow burn like everything was happening so slowly and then you get to those last four hundred pages and everything goes into madness and this is one of the best endings on a book that I ever read. I think that this has the best quotes of the Cosmere,  before I forget FUCK Moash, and don’t forget life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
