What this book is about
The tenth Wheel of Time novel is often considered the series' most divisive entry — notoriously slow and focused almost entirely on political maneuvering and setup. Characters who have been separated for several books check in, but very little happens in a plot sense. For dedicated series readers who have committed to the full arc, it is a necessary step. For others, it's an infamous test of patience. Violence and content are consistent with the rest of the epic fantasy series.
