Once again Jordan's worldbuilding and character development are fantastic. I heard this was the start of "the slog" but I actually thought the pacing and the pieces of the puzzle that came together in this book really kept me invested. Pretty much the last 200 or 300 pages of the book were absolutely phenomenal.
Moderate: Animal death, Blood, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Misogyny, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Stalking, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Gore, Vomit, and War
There is a very uncomfortable relationship dynamic between an older woman and younger man, and it is not handled very well.Spoiler
She has non-consensual sex with him and most of his female friends laugh it off.
