Winter's Heart

Gasp! The plot lines move! Astounding! But seriously, the good thing about this book is that major plots lines are actually moving a bit and certain events that we've been expecting for the past 2 books have finally occurred (well, at least, they're starting to). Mat is given much needed limelight, after being a little absent in the previous book. There's a reduction in the lovey-dovey parts of the previous 2. Those are the good parts. The bad parts? Well, as you know, the main female characters are still performing their trademark action numerous times, and most of them described as if you haven't read about them for at least 5 or 6 books now. There's still a lot of filler, especially at the start of the book. Again, excruciating details for very trivial characters, dialogues, and events; but ironically, not enough reminder text or hints for the incredibly large number of supporting casts for each of the main characters - making recalling who they are very difficult. Still, if you've read this far, you're probably just persevering for the sake of wanting to know how it's going to end, and any review won't really change your mind.
