This is by far the best Wheel of Time book I've read in a while. I had wondered whether Brandon Sanderson's writing would mesh with Robert Jordan's, whether things would flow like they had, and I can say with confidence that they do much better than that. This book picked up the pace where the past few had dawdled, stirring in an amazing amount of action and revelation while still providing that familiar, lush descriptive narration. For the first time in the series, I feel honestly closer to a resolution than I had before.

I can't wait for the last two books!
