Good beginning and great finish
While Jordan's prologues tend to be seriously bloated, this one provides a lot of info, especially some great Forsaken viewpoints. A major plotline is revealed early on when Rand and Taim first meet.

I'll admit that if I didn't want details, then whatever I did, I wouldn't read Robert Jordan or Frank Herbert or anyone else that set a higher standard for sci-fi / fantasy writing by providing dedicated READERS with what they wanted; DETAILS! Robert Jordan could have written 30 books in this series and I'd be all the happier because the characters have detail, the world has... more info
