A few of the old tropes are back. Rand wants to make himself harder, allies are exposed as Darkfriends and Aes Sedai continue to make a mess of things by being arrogant, dismissive of others and unwilling to collaborate. At least we know what the deal is with Rodel Ituralde, the various strings of the story have made a bit more progress and characters have grown.
