Le Seigneur du chaos

I feel like a lot of this novel is spent to really grow the world that is known as Rand land. We get such good politicking from the different lands as well as a move that really sets up Rand for a good chunk of his next character growth. The character development is handled really well and was super engaging. The novel had a good balance of slower exposition and character moments as well as explosive action scenes. Super enjoyable

Overall this was a decent book. It's not the best in the series and very much feels like a middle book, but it had it's moments. There is a lot brewing behind the scenes as the Dark One's forces regroup and revise their strategy after Rand's return from the Aiel Waste. The stage is slowly being set for some explosive confrontations in books to come.

I can only imagine that it might be annoying that I rate all of the books in this series thus far as 5 stars. All I can say is that this is one of those rare series where I don't perceive of the individual books as separate pieces of media, but rather as parts of a whole.

EDIT: After yet another reread, I've decided that this is perhaps the best of the first six books. So many cinematic moments!
