Couldn't quite bring myself to finish it today, but I have less than 100 pages left, and I'm loving it.

I don't feel the need to rush, I still have plenty left to read.

I really, really have been loving this book, in fact it's probably my favourite yet. So why have I taken so long reading it? Because it's so long and dense, if I didn't take breaks, I think I could grow to resent it.

Wheel Of Time comes highly recommended by me, but I won't deny it's a challenging read at times. Still, I should have it finished by the weekend, maybe even tomorrow if I don't do anything else.

There are times I wish this story told itself in a simpler manner. Sometimes I get so bogged down in the details, I have to skim back to quickly remind myself what is going on. Regardless, this remains a magnificent series.

This world is becoming more colourful AND frightening. Oh gosh I'm obsessed.

I am really loving this book, and feel the character development is strong in this one. You really sense how much these characters have grown, and are growing. I love Nynaeve. Her stubborness hides a lot of insecurity and fear, and her chapters are some of my favourites.

Loving it.

After four books, I now feel completely immersed in this world, these characters are becoming more and more real to me, and I'm finding myself desperate to learn more and see more. This series rewards patience.

And I ship Avhienda and Rand.
