Advantages: Continues series really well

Disadvantages: Not as engaging as the first one

Mat has been touched by the evil from Shadar Logoth and must be saved, Rand has discovered things about himself that he must come to terms with and the Horn of Valere must be found.
Jordan paces this novel only slightly slower than the Eye of the World and doesn't suffer for it, gradually weaving more complex designs into the whole series he creates an atmosphere of knowing that what the characters are doing isn't the only thing happening in the world and that things could crop up that they (and you) had no idea of. There are more politics and organisations, personal goals and complex interactions and hence the story is slower and more realistic.
A good book but not as good as the previous Eye of the World or the subsequent Dragon Reborn
