The first half of this book is slow in the sense that nothing substantial happens and it's mainly character development for Nynaeve and Elayne. While I wasn't bored at all reading it and it was easy enough to go through, it had some <b>huh?</b> moments, like
Elayne and Thom flirting, what???
Lack of Perrin wasn't noticeable at all and I love how Rand becomes more and more badass in each book. I am starting to be fond of Nynaeve, annoyed further by Egwene and Mat is hilarious just like in Shadow Rising. I don't think I loved this book, but the last five chapters had me going through the most impactful rollercoaster in the series for me so far, besides the 'What might be' chapter in Great Hunt.
