Incredible.
This book was everything I wanted it to be and more. Less broody Rand and more of Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne being badasses. Of course Rand and Mat are wool-headed at the end thinking it's all over (there are still 11 more books!)
I'm really starting to like Perrin, and I'm looking forward to how he evolves in the next books.
Very excited to read book 4.
wolves, falcons, lucky rogues, evil sorceresses, dream magic, relics, corrupt city-states... there's a lot going on in this third volume and I am now fully on board.
More of a journey book
I've used the word “journey” rather than filler because there is good world building and a lot of character building in this book. But this does not feel like a book where Jordan intended to tell a complete tale. It feels more like he wanted to introduce us to more cultures, lands, towns, peoples and then in the last 200/150 pages he wanted to wrap it up so started making it really interesting. I'm not keen on the whole “ooh I've killed Ba'alzamon” “ooooh no you haven't” thing that's happened three times now. These happen with little reason either.
However, I like Jordan's writing style and its very immersive.
I love this series. It's not perfect at all, it has its flaws but I love this world so damn much!
The formula of this one is exactly the same of book 1 and 2. There were a few odd choices during this journey, specifically regarding Rand, but that ending... EPIC!
