Unfortunately its a bit of a letdown. Its still an enjoyable read but the magic of the first book is a little bit gone and SHONEN-ANIME has entered the thread! No seriously, so many scenes read like from a mid shonen/anime. If some of the girls gooning for our harem hero Rand would utter a "senpai!" I would not be surprised. Girls who only met him in the first book for one scene are falling for him. Jordan is self-aware, because they think phrases like "Why am I falling for a boy that I only met so short" - months later after they met him and never see him again. Women seem to either completely fall for him or manipulate him. The only two women who were his friends in book 1 are now distanced (emotionally as physically) from him and have their own stuff to deal with. But also our protagonist feels like a Shonen hero that can't deal with girls. In one scene he almost squeaks because a woman touches him. There even is a scene where he fells onto a woman and remiscense the feel of her body later. Like its just a touch away from an anime scene where the male protagonist stumbles and falls head first into a cleavage.I know from this thread and from other articles in the internet that I will see more from the other characters and his old friends and honestly I can't wait for it because chosen one Rand is a bit annoying right now. Plus, I can't really see where the story is going to move, Rand stumbles through the scenes and I am missing a bit of a goalpost.</blockquote>
