The genius of it is of course that it’s told in a reversed chronological order, where the tale begins around 1000 years after the Breaking, and then follows Rand’s ancestors back through history. It’s the best fucking literature RJ ever wrote, and is, for me at least, severly mitigating when it comes to judging the rest of his series. Even though it’s, like, fourty pages weighed against what? Fourty thousand or so?" ...wwwwhich book was that again? :S I mean, it sounds familiar, but forty pages in a row about it? Can't recall that. “Yeah, the story of how the pacifist Aiel, the servants of the Aes Sedai, coped with the War of Shadow, with the Breaking of the World, and how they slowly transformed into the warlike Aiel we’ve all came to love and adore.
