*yawn*

I want to bother about the fate of these people, but..... *yawn*

I've I hadn't invested so much time and patience in this book to get to 80% with hopes of seeing something spectacular, I'd have thrown this book out of the window and not cared about it.

Nothing of urgency or consequence happens. Everything is vague. All the shit that is brought up at the start of the book is not even explained, and new non-sense is added so late in the plot. WTF. And the characters are bland AF.

About Perrin throwing away the axe, Elyas says,

"You’ll use it, boy, and as long as you hate using it, you will use it more wisely than most men would. Wait. If ever you don’t hate it any longer, then will be the time to throw it as far as you can and run the other way.”

Damn, I had to remove this book from my shelf because I mistakenly marked it as read and when I try to change it to currently reading, GR is acting up wildly, assuming I'm reading for the 2nd time even though I'm deleting the wrong read dates. Lost all status updates on this book :/

Anyway, my last update was - Tor bookclub is offering this ebook for free until Feb 15.

Fucking Myrddraal!

I don't know what it's actually capable of but the scenes with it are unsettling.

Multiple POVs, finally! Just what this book needed!

There was a time when I couldn't handle multiple POVs narration. But then I read Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb. As much as that series put me through mind-numbing, dizzying onslaught of intense action through multiple POVs, I've learned to appreciate that narrative structure by the end of it.
