The second book in the Wheel of Time series picks up roughly a month after the events of the first book. The book scores well on the whole nostalgia meter and I like the overall writing style but, much like with the first book, I feel like the story took its time during the beginning and middle - with people traveling around from here to there - only to rush through the ending climax.
I'm also concerned about the pacing of the long arc. There are still twelve books left in this series ...more

I'll need a few days to work a proper review, but this book is great.
Mr. Jordan don't have problems in letting us read all the stages of denial but with time we can comprehend why so, at least I get some reactions better after having read a the lower paced chapter.
Loved characters, new ones, new creatures, old battles, reinvented enemies, a lot of imagination going on here.
I was planning on taking slow with this series, but I pick the third book as soon as I can. ...more

5 stars. I love this series with all the various characters and the world building but what made this "re-reading" special was that I listened to the audiobook this time around. Michael Kramer is AMAZING as a narrator. His various character voices really get you into the story. Kate Reading is almost as good - definitely does the womens' voices better but is so much worse at the men than Kramer is at the women...lol.

Enjoyed this book more than the first, but damn, Rand was pissing me off. I understand he was processing things, but still. Some parts of the book felt like it needed a bit more editing to take down some wordiness. Overall, I am excited to read the second one.
