Jordan was good with a pen and knew how to tell a story, but my goodness... his writing is like someone took a bottle of peroxide and poured it on a George R.R. Martin Novel. Sterile. ( )
Not sure why it's picking up this reread as a different mass market paperback but whatever? I also didn't log my other ones because Goodreads didn't have a good way of recording them earlier...
This one could also be titled The One Where the Titular Character Is Mostly Offscreen, which is a great opportunity to have character development for the rest of the party- we finally get our first Mat POV (because any pre-dagger healing would be a muddled, paranoid mess), and though the party tries to split they all ultimately converge for a step, but not the final step for declaring that the Dragon is Reborn.
Also, on this reread I noticed that there's an awful lot of plot that pops up and dangles in the last quarter- definitely indicates this ain't a trilogy. ( )

And his paths shall be many, and who shall know his name, for he shall be born among us many times, in many guises, as he has been and ever will be, time without end. His coming shall be like the sharp edge of the plow, turning our lives in furrows from our of the places where we lie in our silence, The breaker of bonds; the forger of chains. The maker of futures; the unshaper of destiny.
--from Commentaries on the Prophecies of the Dragon, by Jurith Doine, Right Hand to the Queen of Almoren, 742 AB, the Third Age
And it was written that no hand by his should wield the Sword held in the Stone, but he did draw it out, like fire in his hand, and his glory did burn the world. Thus did it begin. Thus do we sing his Rebirth. Thus do we sing the beginning.
--from Do'in Toldara te, Songs of the Last Age, Quarto Nine: The Legend of the Dragon Composed by Boanne, Songmistress at Taralan, the Fourth Age
