While not as action-packed as the Great Hunt, this book still has a lot of epic-ness.

Rand is side-lined in this book, for good reason. In this book, we got a lot more Perrin and a LOT more Mat. This is basically Mat‘s book because of how much he steals the show.

There are some genuinely kickass plot lines and I feel like once the characters just let loose, it‘s going to become even more of a wild ride. Can‘t wait to start the next one!

This book was so intense from page 1, all the way until the epic finale. I literally can‘t believe I have 13 MORE BOOKS and I‘m so excited!

We got to see Rand struggle a lot this book and he really came into full as a character for me. But we gotta talk about the MVP of this book: NYNAEVE IS A BADASS. In conclusion, I am a Nynaeve stan.

This book was so good please inject the rest of the series directly into my veins.

I finally started my journey on the Wheel of Time, and I don‘t regret it at all. This book was captivating, with extremely well-drawn characters and an intense plot that doesn‘t let up until the final pages of the novel.

Part of what made me fall in love was how intricate and creative Jordan‘s world building is. The descriptions pulled me into the story and added a richness that I was able to envision so easily.

Highly recommend!
