Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retros_x" data-source="post: 9872605" data-attributes="member: 7033171">I finally finished Wot #3 and will take a break here, fitting IMO because if I remember correctly the first 3 books were originally planned to be the first one of a trilogy.It felt much longer han #2 and almost as long #1 - but appereantly was the shortest one? Very weird. Overall I liked it more than #2, but it felt so loaded and I am bit annoyed that once again the super sorcerer women needed rescue by the men.I did really enjoy Mats POV, they were a lot of fun. I did enjoy a lot the POV of Nynaeve, Elayne & Egwene, the mystery of finding the undercover evil Aes Sedai was a lot of fun - unfortunatey the resolution was really dumb and disappointing. In general the white tower as an institution felt extremely incompetent and did not fit the reputation that was build up in the first two books. These sorceresses basically rule the world? Thats hard to believe.I missed Rands POV. Perrin was OK. Overall the plot felt kinda forced. Like the author really did want X to happen so everything needs to bent towards that. I start to understand where Sanderson got some of his annoying quirks from. At least Sanderson get it over with, but I am only three books in WoT and already so annoyed by "the wheel weaves..." as a meta self aware justification for every plot contrivance.</blockquote>
