I'm now firmly in territory where I fell out of love with the series and stopped reading in the 90s. This was the last full book I read at the time. It's still full of sexist nonsense and not a single genuine relationship anywhere in sight. And yet I still want to know what's going to happen to Rand. I'm pretty much only invested in him and dislike all other characters. Perrin and Faile are still the worst, what a toxic relationship.
I will continue on, soon.

I can only imagine that it might be annoying that I rate all of the books in this series thus far as 5 stars. All I can say is that this is one of those rare series where I don't perceive of the individual books as separate pieces of media, but rather as parts of a whole.
EDIT: After yet another reread, I've decided that this is perhaps the best of the first six books. So many cinematic moments!
