Oh how I wish I was better at reviewing books I listened to entirely on audio, especially when said books are a billion hours long. But this was fun. The action was tight, the worldbuilding was Greta, the weird sexism was extra weird sexism (nothing takes me out quite as fast as Rand talking about how ten women got him drunk, then got him undressed and... Tickled him? Until he went to bed? You're fetishes are showing, Jordan).   

Anyway, I'm still enjoying the series, though am officially bummed out that there's no more Rosamund Pike audiobooks. 🥲 She truly is an excellent narrator.
