As much of an Egwene hater I've been, she is the star in this book so far - her confrontation of Elaida was really, really good. I'm also enjoying Rand a lot, and how Sanderson is writing the Forsaken.

However I've just gotten to a Mat chapter and what people say is true about the Sanderson version- he's written like a total red pill loser chud. Not sure what that's about, but I hope it fixes itself soon 😒

Really enjoying the Sanderson takeover so far. The pacing feels efficient, everything that written feels like it has purpose, and the women are characterized SO much better - makes me glad to have stuck it out this far into the series
