Boobs, boobs and more boobs 
The seventh book in this series misses the mark. Action sequences are just referenced and female bickering and clothing takes up most of this book. I am sick of reading about these interchangable women.

3.5 stars. This is the 7th book in the Wheel of Time series, and only a few days have passed since the conclusion of the last book, Lord of Chaos.
At the conclusion of Lord of Chaos, Rand had been freed from the imprisonment by the White Tower Aes Sedai sent by Elaida, the Amrylin Seat of the Tower, to capture him and bring him to her to guide and use as the White Tower chose. It is while on the march to Tar Valon that Rand frees himself, and a great battle is fought there with Rand and his allies... more info
