And it happened that I read this part with Moiraine's death in this book at the same time I was reading about her rescue mission. I am following Leigh Butler's much more detailed reread on Tor.com. If you haven't read the series, don't read this paragraph, because it contains one big spoiler for next few books (even though much of this will be forshadowed, and has been already, in books themselves). Battle scenes in Cairhen (both from his and Rand's perspective) are pretty well written. It is nice to see his new skills come to fore. And I hope that the forthcoming " Memory of Light" will solve the mess with Seals. In some ways, she is worse than Cadsuane. Oh, she is right in many things, but she also thinks that he MUST be guided for his own good. I am talking about her (Aes Sedai) perception that she knows what is better for him that Rand himself.

I like her part in later books and what she does, but when I look at her relationship toward Rand, I can't help myself but to feel angry. It is good for her to find her own strengths (even though the way of this found was a bit unfair toward Nyneve), but here is also the source of the problems between Rand and Egwene. And it is presented so normally that we don't even see what dangers will this put Rand into in future.Įgwene's parts are OK, but nothing I found impressive. First we have ideas that are indistinguishable from Rand's, then we have few shy thought, and in the end we have him trying to take over Rand's body.

This time I noticed how cleverly Jordan introduced Lews Therin Telamon inside Rand, and how he made Rand gradually accept him. And there is also trio of Min, Siuan, Leane, accompanied by Logain, as they search for the rebel Aes Sedai, but their part is smaller, and it later combines with Nyneve's and Elayne's. On the other side of the world, we have Nyneve and Elayne, followed by Thom and Juilin, where they unexpectedly meet Galad and some other familiar characters. Rand is leading our Aiel from Aiel Waste for the first (real) time, and he is followed by Moirane, Lan, Mat and Egwene, and of course Aviendha. Since there is no Perrin's POV in this book, we have two main clusters of characters.
