This book sucks I don't think I can finish it. How is this a 14 book series? The characters are one note and unlikable especially the women. How can every woman either absolutely hate men or be incompetent. How can the men stand to be manipulated and talked down to?



That and the one after it are the two books that turn people off to the series. As far as the male/ female, remember the writer isn't talking about our world today but another place and time where the women have had a lot more power both in magic and in politics.
Just skim over it and the next one and you'll be rewarded.


I absolutely loved this series,had a hard time moving on.
over a hundred books later it is still where i'd rather be.

The reason's for the animosity between genders will become evident several books in. They are worth reading so try to stick it out. However, I don't recommend reading these books one behind the other. Take breaks between, and possibly read something else that's less demanding, then go back to the series. Jordan tends to revisit the historical plot quite a bit throughout his books so taking a breaks will make for a much better overall experience.
