I’m half-way through, and so far, I am impressed. Sanderson has tightened up the story quite nicely, but my reaction to his treatment of Mat Cauthon is the same (there has been only one chapter so far on Mat): where is the real Mat and who is this person who looks like him?

I actually find the Egwene chapters the most interesting, and her character is one that has grown considerably. I don’t find the pending resolution of the schism in the White Tower so manufactured as did Bill, but the seeds for that resolution should have been better sown in previous books.

I’ll let you know what I think when I finish.

I still haven’t decided whether to try to get back into this series. The last one I read was Winter’s Heart, and then when I heard Crossroads of Twilight didn’t really advance the plot, I gave up. I’m tempted to give it another shot, since I liked the one Sanderson book I’ve read, but there’s the daunting prospect of rereading everything, since it’s been nearly ten years and I doubt I remember enough to just jump back in.

Very excited. It sounds like we have very similar takes on this series. I often call it the most annoying series I’ve ever become addicted to. I’m looking forward to reading it. Thx for the review.

I can’t wait to read this. I’m on my second read through this series. Love is not even the word. I’m glad to hear the good reviews.
