The third book is where you start getting a preview of the warning I gave in the first book's review. The plot is still very epic in nature and immense in scope, so that's still a plus. The pacing is starting to stagger a little, where Robert Jordan seems to start going off in tangents away from the main plot. The overall progress in terms of the storyline is still pretty evident, and his flowing style still reads smoothly. Readers with a better memory or who read the books back to back will find that there are very many things in here that the author keeps highlighting and repeating in very many sections of the book - this is likely annoying to those who've already read them in the 2 books. But as I've read them months apart, it's wasn't particularly noticeable - I'd say it's just the way he does it and at this point, I didn't have any problems with it.
