This addition to WoT is definitely slower than the previous few books. I would not say it was a slog to get through by any means. It’s just that the story is less plot driven and more about characters and relationships. Not bad by any stretch of the imagination but not the best of the series either. Mat’s story broke my heart. I don’t like him much but he deserves better.
