I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others (so far). A whole lot of hurry up and wait do nothing. ( )

Rereading. As remembered, some of this book is boring and slow, and some is exciting and interesting. So many of the relationships in this series are dysfunctional, it makes me wonder what Jordan's own marriage is like. He excels at worldbuilding, which I love, but even I get tired of all the description. Still, many plotlines moved forward, even if not fast enough for my taste. The ending finale is good. With all the ter'angreal around, it makes me wonder why the Forsaken don't have any. Is that the Dark One's doing, to keep them from challenging him? In any case, it leaves them vulnerable to the likes of Cadsuane. Despite all the things that are annoying about this series, I still really like it. ( )

Ugh. How many books left? After reading (listening) to four books back-to-back, I'm taking a break. ( )

De vaart is weer een beetje terug in het verhaal. Rhand is ook weer wat aangenamer en de dames hebben een grote rol. Mooi. ( )

Epigraph
The seals that hold back night shall weaken, and in the heart of winter shall winter's heart be born amid the wailing of lamentations and the gnashing of teeth, for winter's heart shall ride a black horse, and the name of it is Death. --from The Karaethon Cycle: The Prophecies of the Dragon
Dedication
Always for Harriet. Always.
First words
Three lanterns cast a flickering light, more than enough to illuminate the small room with its stark white walls and ceiling, but Seaine kept her eyes fixed on the heavy wooden door.
