Perhaps the most action packed entry in the series, The Towers of Midnight is a fantastic penultimate book in The Wheel of Time series. While it is a little slow in the first third of the book, its pacing skyrocketed towards the end, concluding on a series of cliffhangers that lead right in to the final book in the series.
While the previous book centered on Rand's development, The Towers of Midnight develops a range of other members of the cast. While I missed Rand, I felt renewed interest for characters that had previously been uninteresting, particularly Perrin and Elayne.
The Towers of Midnight contains moment after moment of payoff for events set up as early as the fifth book in the series. There were some fantastic beats in this story, and I'm starting to feel a bit sad that I've only got one book left.
