I have heard some people refer to this book as the start of "the slog" but I found nothing sloggy here.  The book start with a bang (quite literally) and ends with a bang.  It doesn't follow a traditional story arch for a book, but we're in the midst of a 14 book series, each books can't have conflict leading to a climax followed by a resolution.  If you know that going in, I think the book reads pretty quickly and moves along nicely.  I enjoyed the pacing and the happenings in this one but could have used more Mat.
