Mazrim Taim, leader of the Black Tower, is revealed to be a liar. But what is he up to?

Faile, with the Aiel Maidens, Bain and Chiad, and her companions, Queen Alliandre and Morgase, is prisoner of Savanna's sept.

Perrin is desperately searching for Faile. With Elyas Machera, Berelain, the Prophet and a very mixed "army" of disparate forces, he is moving through country rife with bandits and roving Seanchan. The Forsaken are ever more present, and united, and the man called Slayer stalks Tel'aran'rhiod and the wolfdream.

In Ebou Dar, the Seanchan princess known as Daughter of the Nine Moons arrives--and Mat, who had been recuperating in the Tarasin Palace, is introduced to her. Will the marriage that has been foretold come about?

Knee-deep in the doldrums

3 stars

I'm knee-deep in the doldrums of the Wheel of Time. Inspired to plod on by a stellar season 2 of the show, I was immediately confronted with the dilemma that I like every single character of the show better than the book equivalent.

All in all, very little happens here. Elayne tries to consolidate power in Andor, and I cannot stress how much I was bored out of my mind by that plot thread.

Once again, Mat saved the day and a star for being the only likeable character, and for actually trying things, preparing to flee Ebou Dar. Also, the Daughter of the Nine Moons has arrived, and that's really the most fascinating bit about the whole book for me.

The finale was grand, and interesting enough, but all in all, I am just glad that it's over, hundo …

The finale was grand, and interesting enough, but all in all, I am just glad that it's over, hundo p. Can it get any worse? This is generally considered one of the better books of the doldrums, so I really fear the worst.
