Second worst book of the series 
While we finally get a conclusion on the Bowl of the Winds (which started in Book 6), we unfortunately get a new situation with Faile and the Shaido (which lasts an ungodly 3.5 books!). While Crown of Swords started the downturn in the tight exposition, this was brutal in some spots. The Elayne chapters, along with the annoying bickering with the Windfinders, were nigh unreadable.

In A Crown of Swords, Rand conquerors the city/nation of Illian and kills the Forsaken Sammael. He is then named King of Illian and presented the Laurel Crown (the "crown of swords") by one of the Lords of Illian, the head of the Council of Nine. Nynaeve & Elayne found the Bowl of the Winds and were on their way out of the city of Ebou Dar to use it... more info
