This book was the BEST so far! Sanderson deserves a standing ovation for how well he did pickng up this epic series. The story moved along at a rapid pace (which is FAST for a WoT book!) and I was on the edge of my seat all the time. I breathed a sigh of relief at the end, with Egwene and Rand having satisfying turns of position. I usually feel bad when an antagonist gets what they deserve, but not so with Elita. I whooped when I read her demise! Right now I am tapping my foot impatiently as I download Book 13 Towers of Midnight off Audible. I can't wait to listen to it!!!!
