4.0

Knife of Dreams, in addition to having a truly fantastic title, does feel like a return to form for Robert Jordan. With conclusions to many of the overarching arcs in the infamous slog,

Perrin and Faile reuniting, Elayne getting control of Andor, the cleansing of siadin, Tuon acknowledging Mat as her husband, the White Tower (making strides towards) being reunited(?)

, Jordan drew me back into caring about the arcs of most (emphasis on the most) of his main characters. 

While there are still some pitfalls that this story falls into around pacing and questions I have about POV balance, Jordan left me surprised and creeped out with the end of this story. I'm sad I won't get another book written completely by him in this universe.
