Not quite what I expected, but enjoyable nonetheless. Nice change of pace, anyway. Opens with Lan's point of view, and mostly focuses on Moiraine's assent into Aes Sedaidom. The first half or so is Moiraine and Suian as accepted in the tower. Quick for a WOT read. No super long prologues and windy words. Still too many descriptions of dresses, and too many silver pike references, but quicker to get to the point than the main novels. It was fun to see young Moiraine's point of view, and made for some fun, lighthearted reading. Not much happened, but it was more enjoyable to read than other WOT books.
