The first half of this was monotonous but it was salvaged by the second half. I think I'm solidly in the part of the series where it's extremely evident that Jordan could have dramatically cut down on the descriptions of characters outfits and their super repetitive idiosyncrasies.

There are just too many characters and almost no way of telling a good portion of them apart. We also don't need to know the same shit the main characters are thinking a million times. This series would be one less book at least without Nynaeve's hair pulls.

Well the slump is real. I had a really hard time getting through this one. I didn’t want to pick it up. The one good thing going for it is that it’s shorter than the previous books. That being said it is still over 600 pages which could have been edited down to far less. There’s a lot of talking about what the characters are going to do and not an awful lot of them actually doing. Oh well, onto book 9.
