Status: I am currently on page 372 of Lord of Chaos. I’ve read Books 1-5, but not New Spring as I’m still unsure as to when I should read that one.

I loved that scene with Demandred and the Dark One. The fact that he spoke in all-caps made me screech with excitement. The Prologue was long but I liked how it set everything up and I was so thrilled to see all the different points of view, especially the Forsaken (who I have so much fun with for some reason).
Something that is strong in this book is the various points-of-view, which is something that I enjoy a lot in a book. And I think it is especially fitting in The Wheel of Time. The Forsaken chapters are some of my favorites, I keep wanting at least one of them to end being good in the end. But, in the end, I think that Jordan doesn't like redemption as a character arc. For instance, if we look at Asmodean, he was only helping Rand through force via Lanfear. But was he really changing? I am not so sure. And I am devastated that he has been killed.
While I am heartbroken at the events of the shattering of the Tower, I do enjoy the plotline a lot. I like being able to see some parts of Elaida's side of things. Seeing her become unhinged is just phenomenal. My only thing is that I wish we knew more about Elaida who she really is, apart from being an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah who couped the Amyrlin Seat. If it is true that the Red Ajah set up the false Dragons, why is she so bent out of shape about Rand? I feel like there is something more to it all, but maybe there isn't. Sometimes things just are what they are.
