The Best book of the Wheel of Time, so far (Edit: It is the best!), without a doubt!
This book makes Egwene al'Vere and Rand al'Thor two of the best characters in fantasy EVER. Egwene is probably the best female character in Fantasy, for me now, beating Daenerys Targaryen and Vin from Mistborn.
Rand's storyline throughout this book has been nothing but masterful. The emotions of sadness, frustration, anger and happiness that this boy makes me feel are close to none other.
This book is not a 5 for one reason: Mat. Brandon's Mat feels totally different to how Jordan left off with Mat in Knife of Dreams. He feels he's lost some of his maturity and I didn't like that.
Other than that this book is the absolute perfect start to the end of this story.
