Ya know, this "the Blight" concept is always on very shakey gorund. It passed for LotR, because it was new, and it was an everpresent evil with its magic, and we never knew how big it was actualy, but it was surley big, and it was very different from everywhere else, and was filled with orcs and such, and the general concept was what was important. Like there was never any logistics attacking Mordor as a physical, conquerable place, not even when they fought Sauron way-back-when. Here The Blight is a very geographical place instead, and unlike for example such places in Trilogy of the Night there is a global will to destroy it all. And unlike in other writings this place is not natural, but magical. So, in WoT we CAN ask the question: why not burn it up? I won't go in and fight whatever in the place. I'll burn it up. Not doing it makes this setting a candidate for the "civilisations too stupid to really exist" youtube series.
Mountain of Dhoom. RJ is really not creative when it comes to naming things.

Aside these, the chapter is enjoyable.
