This book is a classic for a reason. This was my second time reading it, after watching the new TV show and it holds up relatively well. It is very slow at the beginning and the focus Robert Jordan puts on the divide between men and women is extremely stilted and old fashioned. However, the exciting story, rich characters, and deep world building shines through it all. It would not be published in it's current form in modern day, but it is a good story for modern audiences all the same.

Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Body horror, Death, Genocide, Gore, Blood, and Murder

Moderate: Mental illness, Misogyny, Suicidal thoughts, Vomit, Stalking, War, and Injury/Injury detail

Minor: Child death, Cursing, Drug use, Excrement, and Death of parent

It is a relatively violent fantasy book that does not stray away from the harsh details of a battle and death. However there is no sexual violence or even discussion of it. However, it is not Game of Thrones level gory and violent. I would rate it around a PG-13 for most people.

3.5

On first read: DNFed, then restarted and gave 5 stars

Reread: 3.5 stars. I enjoyed this more than most 3.5 star reads, but I think that's because I know the arc of the whole story. I'm also just always going to love these books.

Style/writing: 4 stars
Themes: 3 stars
Characters: 3.5 stars
Plot: 3 stars
Worldbuilding: 3.5 stars
