Hadn’t had a battle in awhile unless you count women being snarky with each other.

If you like “The Wheel of Time” series, you’ll definitely like this book!!! Another Chapter,& The Story just keeps getting better!!! Just when we Think that the Dragon Reborn, Perrin,& Mat are going to come to a head, Everything just winds back on itself, leaving you staying up Late just so you can keep on with this Fantastic Saga!!! Does the “White Tower” Still Control Destiny’s, & How Does the Shadow Always find a way to be at Least 2 steps Ahead of Everyone,& Everything?? And What of the “Aes Sendai” plots& machinations come to bear from Both the Rebels,& The Tower?? Is Rand going Mad,& is Faille Really going to give in to her “Aile”... Trieste, While Enslaved??? Will Perinn “Golden Eyes” Find His Faille& Form bonds with the “Seanchan” and It’s “Ever So Glorious Army”??? If you Think you Know, You’ll be Pleasantly Surprised, Things Don’t Always go Perfectly!!! This is a Book, That Fans Understand & Yearn for. If Your New to the Series, You Really should Begin with the 1st Title(!!)

Considering that the previous book Crossroads of Twilight was full of filler and fluff, it was a nice addition to the series. R.I.P. Robert Jordan!!

I'm a huge WoT fan (a huge fan, depending on the books). Books 1-3 were great, but they started to decline as the world became bigger and bigger. Please don't think that the middle books were bad--they were very well written--I just had problems keeping everyone straight. It was too big for me. This book brought me back in full speed. Great battle scenes (as in every book) with stories coming to climax. Can't believe this book is 10 years old...

After a little drudgery and slower pace of the last few books, this was a nice pickup to the former, more captivating clip I was used to. Though there are some things that were a little disappointing, I cannot share them. But not to take away from it overall. Now, only three more to go. lol

I loved it. I can't wait for the next.
