book.
I was completely hooked from the beginning to the very end.(might be a slow start for some but I loved the anticipation).Turn of events in this book were much more intriguing than in the first. World building is amazing as usual, immersion is top-notch and the last couple of chapters brought me consistent goosebumps, especially the one named 'What Might Be'. Characters are still pretty much the same being obstinate or suspicious about everyone however, so if you were expecting them to change compared to how they were in the first, it won't happen, especially since the events take place soon after the first book. I didn't feel much drag except for a little in the middle where Rand gets (view spoiler) but we don't talk about that :D I just loved those final chapters so much that I don't care about any issues it had, but I have no doubt that this one improves upon the first book nonetheless.

That said, as with a lot of RJ's earlier books in the series there are some deus ex machina plot points that RJ chalks up to as "the Wheel Weaves and Wheel Wills". Rand being a person who turns the pattern inward on himself is a really convenient writing ploy to use as a way to wash away happenstance... I kind of see that as lazy storytelling. BUT who can blame RJ? He wrote a massive series and there is way to much detail in other parts of the story that it more than makes up for these slight blips.
I highly recommend this series and yes you must read book 1 before book 2. Cheers!
