I'm almost offended that there's no prologue. Again shows this is not its own volume, but a continuation of the previous volume. And a bloody long one. Will it be bale to keep the quality, or Book 3 was the fluke? And if I had to re-cut the first 3 books, I'd do it, and edit them to 2 volume, using the empty space in them to place character development and event where they are more useful. Like if you put Perrin's stuff from Book 3 to Book 2 nothing changes only Perrin gets where he is sooner. Matt can be sent to Tar Valon immediately, and deliver that letter in the second half of the "second" volume. Entirely cut most of the women. Cut the Horn, and any adventure with the nazis. And so on. It could be done, and the result would result a much tighter, much better material.
This next three volumes are monstrous, an extra half volume length compared to book 2 and 3, so I'm peeking towards the prequel, and that single not-cut-content short story.
Anyway, Min is going to the Throne, and sees a bunch of visions showing the Tower will fall - by the hand of the nazis. None else has the silver leashes, that's their significant item. Remember this. How they would achieve this Tar Valon being in the middle of the land is anyone's guess.
It is confirmed that Rand will be polygamist, and Min will be one of his waifu. Polygamy in itself is not an inherently bad thing, but for the human species, which have a close to 1:1 sex ratio, is immoral.
More problems with the aes sedai as they are now: a lazy, immovable spider sitting in its web. They are isolated, do nothing, they are not useful. They are not part of society. they are a parasite.
The Throne, with barely covered manipulation, forces Min to stay in town.
Aside that the nazis are coming, the Tower has its internal conflicts too. Elaida brews trouble. This is a good setup to weaken the Tower so some outside force can break in later.
Woah, Padain Fain, the Mad Beggar shows up with some Children around Emmondsfield. Ok, whatever. that plot is moving again then. Fain is not under control, no matter what the Children would like to think.
So, that Suroth-persona from Falme did not die. Too bad. The remains of the nazi army resides under her command at some island not far from the mainland. Bad news: the phrase Nine Moons come up, it turns out this refers to the nazis. There is a prophecy that the Dragon will LEAD the nazis. This can only come from a christian, any sane othe person finds the idea repulsive. If you for any reason write nazis in your writings, you must either exterminate them, or conquere them and annihilate them by abolishing their culture. If you just put them under your command untouched, that's supporting the ideology. Finding excuses for them is joining them. Doing so is NOT free speech, it is hatespeech, and that's why the law bans it. This also means the entire right wing of today, the nationalist christian parties violate not just the laws, but the very foundations of civilisation. The system was set up so religion gets out of our system, because it is incompatible with life.
Turns out the entire nazi senchean culture is built on a theocratic dictatorship, where might makes right, which might is based on absolute slavery of mages. And they use the sultans as jew-hunters...
