Mmmmm, that's the smell of a brand new book!

We start A Crown of Swords pretty much exactly where we left off with Lord of Chaos: Dumai's Wells.

Elaida and Alviarin catch up and we get a clear view of Elaida's state of mind. Spoiler: it's no bueno.

We see Sevanna's point of view just before, during and immediately after the battle at Dumai's wells

Alviarin gets a visit from a Forsaken and learns a new trick.

Pedron Niall is assassinated and Eamon Valda immediately moves in to capitalise.

And Gawyn leads the remnants of the Younglings in battle against some Shaido.

Lastly, we have Perrin sitting nervously, observing the boiling tension around the makeshift camp after the batlle of Dumai's Wells, and we see the signs of his difference of opinion to Rand.

Loads of setup with a decent amount of action Let us know what you think!
