i am in LOVE with this. i know some people say Jordan is very very wordy and flowery and that it can be tedious for some people, but i’m genuinely loving how vivid the imagery has become and how dire some shit feels in here. the whole section with Rand bringing Tam to town has had me on the edge of my seat, and it taking so long is making shit feel SO dire.

“A scrape behind him sent a chill to his marrow” is one of my favorite descriptions thus far. this book just keeps getting better and better

loooooving the prose and character relationships so far. reminds me of some of the fun stuff from before the Fellowship set off in Lord of the Rings lol

very very good introduction so far. the world feels SO alive and interesting. i have a few issues picturing things in my head, specifically the prologue with the mountain and the island is a little murky in my head but i feel like it’s intentionally vague so i don’t mind it
