I really loved this book. Been wanting a good long audio book for a while and it did not disappoint. I love the writing and the characters are all so interesting an unique.
However, the aspect of some of the romantic relationships weren’t my cup of tea, one pair in particular felt quite forced and didn’t feel like there was much build up towards it, more just some mild flirting then bam! they are in love. I hope I grow more fond of this relationship as I continue the series but as it stands, I feel it was an unnecessary distraction to the overall plot.
I am not talking about Rand, I love his relationship with Egwene, I was talking about Lan and Nynaeve. But I think it’s partially due to the fact I don’t really like Nymaeve atm
