Probably my favorite in the series so far. We start to see the characters mature and grow. Still some "these characters are so stubborn" redundancy. But not overly annoying yet. I liked that we got to hear a little bit more about the current state of the Two Rivers (I had been wondering). And that we got to learn a bit more about Aiel culture. Jordan clearly put a lot of thought into making distinct cultures for all the regions/countries.

CSeydel I‘m currently reading this one too - just about 100 pages from the end. Great review, totally agree. 2h

A soft pick. This series has become more engaging as it continues. I forgot to do a review of this one and am already on Book 5. With this series, I think there are a lot of plot holes or things that aren't necessarily explained well. But I enjoy how the characters are written. They all have distinct personalities and it is interesting to see how they struggle with various situations where it is not immediately clear what's the "right" thing to do

This YA Snow White retelling was a bit odd. The premise intrigued me, but I found the execution a somewhat lacking.

The complicated family relationships and allusions to various myths were nice, but the romantic sub-plot felt awkward and forced, and I found the lack of explanation or backstory for the main antagonist a bit frustrating.

Overall, this book was just okay, not one I'm likely to recommend.

This was a fun read! Lots of angst, but like…light angst? If that makes sense. I‘d forgotten a lot about the first book, so the refresher at the beginning was useful instead of annoying, but it might not have been if I‘d read closer together. We learn a lot more about the personalities of our three main characters, and lines are drawn between them all. All 300-some pages are a single day, which is a bit dizzying, but it‘s a good read overall.

Finally! I have been waiting for the story of Dalinar‘s missing memories. And that chapter with Shallan and Wit… perfection.

Still enjoying this series.

Particularly like when Violet‘s nerdiness is what gets them out of a jam, rather than the squad‘s overall badassery at combat (on or off dragon). Feeling like the final twist/pseudo cliffhanger wasn‘t nearly as bold or surprising as the last two books‘ endings. But it was enough for me to be bummed I have to wait to know more.
