Sexism intensifies.
I've never had to skip parts of an audiobook before. Very annoying. All the female characters become the exact same horrifically shallow dumpster fire. Half of the male characters hardly fare better. As a result, at least 75% of the book is unreadable drivel that I wish I could burn up with balefire so that I'd never had to hear it.

If you're interested in reading the entire wheel of Time series, read this book. If you're not I don't think you'd want to or enjoy this book. Generally the series is shaping up to be one overarching plot that carries out throughout the entire series, rather than more distinct plots throughout each. The characters represent archetypes and for that, we don't really see them change or develop as much as I would enjoy. We are starting to see some shift in that which was enjoyable. That being said, I did not enjoy the whole Elaine and Nynave subplot where they were constantly at each other's next. It seems like the only time that they weren't fighting was when they were trying to prove to men that women didn't fight all the time. Well it was cool to see Nynave lose her confidence, it came with a very sudden singular action and didn't really seem to come out for the rest of the book. That doesn't feel like character development rather than a very sudden character change. That's what the character development we oftentimes see is.
The book is very slow because it focuses a ton on the political Dynamics at play. I don't think I'd be able to tell you what happened in this book versus the second book because the plot is so deeply intertwined. I also missed Aaron so much.

Still liking this series a lot, though it does take a while to get through the books. I feel like the most major events thus far have occurred in this novel, particularly relating to the loss of important characters. I am curious what will happen in the next (and longest...) book of the Wheel of Time

A slower book from the series but each part has a strong purpose with engaging plotlines and arcs that weave together into an incredible last few hundred pages that I read the majority of exclaiming aloud or with my jaw-dropped
