The Gathering Storm

The Gathering Storm is one of my favorites in the series thus far. The plot progress very quickly, and so many story arcs come together—finally—in a very satisfying way. It was a real page-turner! I really enjoyed Egwene's storyline, and the revelations there. My impression is that Sanderson cleaned up a lot of the repetitive prose that Jordan loved. There is less elaborate descriptions of settings and clothing, for instance, and almost no crossing of one's arms under their breasts. I can finally see the events leading towards a resolution of this epic story. I'm eager to read the last two books!
