In this book, we see the White Tower divided, attacked, and trying to be re-united. We see Mat getting moved to position, to try to fulfill his next task. We see Rand, the Dragon Reborn, slip further into madness before he comes to accept his situation. Actually, the only ones we don't hear much from are Perrin and Loial.
Sanderson did a fantastic job in picking this up where Jordan left off, re-kindling the love for the series for many fans. Where Jordan started to meander, Sanderson seems focused, ready to give the fans the ending we've been clamoring for.

In this book, far more so than in the first book, the jumping point-of-view in the storytelling is threw me off a bit. I think Weeks does it a lot more often in this one....more
Nothing great. As with the others in the series, no real plot, just a lot of emo romantic crap. But I think it's supposed to be a sort of romance noveNothing great.
