This book is definitely a lot more interesting than the previous one. A lot of things are revealed in this one that the previous book was leading up to. More things click into place. I think this book was out to get the men. Bad things happen to the men in this one and all the good things happen to the women. You start to see Rand's mental and emotional downfall in this book which will play a huge role in the books to come.
