Reread in November 2021 after watching the TV Show
I still feel that what I wrote below is accurate, but I'm enjoying the story and world-building so much after watching the TV show that I was encouraged to reread the book and, this time, continue with the series. I kind of switched off halfway through my first read because I wasn't particularly enjoying it, so I kind of missed a lot of the action and had totally blanked out the ending. I'm excited to continue this time around, particularly to learn how Egwene and Nynaeve develop into whatever the wheel has weaved for them.

Original Review from April 2021
Juvenile storytelling that I would probably have enjoyed in my 20s. The writing is wooden and the story is derivative and predictable. I won't be continuing with this series.
