The best part about Tress, by far, is the style. It is told like a classic fairy tale and feels like one. I love watching Tress grow as a character and a person, and this world is just so unique and beautiful. And Hoid, as a narrator, was super fun! I enjoyed the tone of this story, and I can’t wait to read it to my kids some day. If you're looking for more hardcore fantasy, this is not it. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it!

Not my favorite book in the Where of Time so far, but still magnificent. I did really love the focus on Tar Valon, the magic system, and on the trio of the accepted. I love the series magic system, and it was amazing getting to see a lot more of it, especially from the users perspective.

I was really disappointed by this book. I much prefer the first one, which I feel was better paced and overall more enjoyable of a story. What really killed me here was the love triangle, and how it ended. It got annoying, fast, and the ending pissed me off. The book was not utterly terrible, however.
I was forced to turn it back into the library lol

It was ok, but I found it very predictable. The prose was also not very good.

If your thinking about rereading this book to get nostalgia, especially if you read it as a kid, it will not disappoint. I convinced my middle-school aged sister to start the series, and she loves it and is already on book 3.
