Drug on a bit more than the other ones, and there was no big exciting incident at the end. There was no Mat. It mostly just felt like Aes Sedai plotting around and being catty. The Seanchan are back, and there were some cool moments with the gateways. There's a secret Morgase wandering around with Perrin. There's some cool stuff with the Aes Sedai in the white tower and the oath rod. But probably my least favorite of the series so far.

The first "slow" book in the series. Good thing there are only 6 and a half more to go.
