Team B ports through a Gate. The best you can get here is some girly chit-chat.
-------------
On the other side is a trap, the black sedai sold them to the sanchean. Their "magic system" is, there are the casters called demons, and their keepers (literly holding them on leash) the sultans. This doesn't make them muslim, just like the tao-symbol doesn't make people here anything but christian. Sencheans are extreme nationalist christians relying on superweapons (mages on leashes), holding the population under total submission both mind and body - they are NAZIS. Unredeamable. It is VERY uncomfortable to read anytrhing they are in from now. This group if doesn't make you physically ill, there's something wrong with you. The only redeeming factor for this inhumane faction is the promise of their total annihilation in the chapter Team A teleported. Egwenne and Min are the only one captured though.
A quetion on the narrative: why are the women here? Entirely unnecessary. The only point I see is, RJ want to keep the party together, because he can't solve how to have them left separate. Another problem is the strucure of this volume matches the volume of the previous book: hundreds of pages spent until starting to move, walking in a direction with the party separated, then teleporting to the endgame. Adding this to the weak writing really not rises the hope things will be better.
