[This is part of a series analyzing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time novels. Previous installments can be found under the tag. Comments on old posts are welcome, but please, no spoilers for books after Crossroads of Twilight, as that's the last book I read before starting this project.]
Took me a while to get around to posting this one. I actually read the book last month, but my notes have been sitting around for a few weeks now -- possibly a sign that I'm running out of steam. This is the ninth book, after all, and I've been doing this since January of last year; after a while, momentum does become an issue. (Doesn't help that the next book is Crossroads of Twilight. I think I may have mentioned how little I'm looking forward to that one, once or twice. Or three times. Or more.)
But anyway. Winter's Heart. Which is, indeed, better-shaped than the previous book, though still suffering the characteristic problems of the Bad Three.
( So let's get on with it. )
Whoof. CoT next, and after that, I'm into the books I haven't read before (including New Spring). I may speed up my timeline of reading and posting; I may want to take new material at a faster pace. We'll see.
