Very good world building, as with all wheel of time books. There are a couple major revelations that happen towards the end, but otherwise this book feels a lot less dense with events than the previous, like as if not much actually happens in it. Yet it manages to still feel like it never presses the brakes, its a weird feeling, but was still a very good book. I look forwards to the next.
My goodness, the middle of this series is a slog. Pretty sure the first time I read the series, I gave up on the next book, but by golly, Sanderson is one of my favorite authors, and I'm going to get to the books he wrote to finish the series.
