This is the first of the last three books in the Wheel of Time series. It's also the first that wasn't written solely by Robert Jordan. Brandon Sanderson does have a different voice for the characters than Jordan did, and some of them do take getting used to. His Perrin and Elyane are the closest to Jordan I think, with Mat and Egwene being the furthest.
Besides the voices of the characters being slightly different. The action also heats up. I don't know if that's what Jordan intended but it seems like everything is coming to a head at once. It definitely feels like the Last Battle (and the end of the series) is just around the corner. I laughed when I read that this would be the end, that it wouldn't be dragged out for a few more books but after reading this one I think I may have been wrong.
