The Dark One defeated in the Blight! Rand faces his first big showdown. Many, many years since I read this book. I originally put all kinds of notes on a bookmark when I read the first three novels. That grew into a three page multi-faceted thing hardly equipped for bookmarking. Now, I will just look it up online and try not to spoil.

There were huge sections of Eye that I didn't remember at all. The Worms chasing Team Rand into the Green Man's forest, the details of the Ways. Loial's reactions were great. I found myself really swept away with these characters again.

The subtle romance between Lan and Nynaeve was bittersweet indeed.

I have given myself a little time to come down from this experience. My wife and I are trying to catch up on The CW Arrowverse shows. Invasion!

Things at work are full steam ahead crazy. Sneaking away to Randland is fun.

Next stop is The Great Hunt! (My favorite so far!!)
