Probably my favorite of the series. Perrin had his show in the previous novel, but Mat, Rand, and Nynaeve really come into their own in this one. Some of my favorite scenes are in this book.
But it’s also chock full of gender stereotypes and some excessive handwringing over the propriety of character attitudes and clothing. It can be annoying as hell to read in sections.

That was a struggle. The translator did a fine job, but the linguistic style and scientific explanations were really hard to wade through at times.
