Rand as the Dragon Reborn consolidates his strength while fighting of enemies from within and without, while the female leads of the series begin their search for a powerful object that will possibly fix the weather.

Notes
Yet again, my standard Wheel of Time complaints apply here, so if you want to hear about how he writes women, or his tendancy towards gross over-description of dresses, you can read one of my past wheel of time note sections.

This book is all about political wrangling. There’s very little real action until just at the end and what’s there isn’t a huge main plot point as it has been in the previous 5 books, but rather what seems like something that’s there just because the book needed a big action sequence climax.

The story is still interesting once you get to it. This is the part of most series where the pace slows down and the situation is set up for the big climax at the end, so it’s not surprising most of the book is political wrangling with very little progress forward in events. I expect it to be the same for the next several books as there’s a lot of setup that has to get done.

I should also note this is the last book of the wheel of time that I’ve read, so moving on from here I’ll be reading them fresh, for the first time.

Next Book
I’m taking another Wheel of time break, this time with The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, the first book in the Gentlemen Bastard’s series which was recommended to me by my friend Kris.
