The end is here! This was a massive set of chapters, but there was so much action happening that there was no good place to stop. The last 20 chapters of The Eye of the World are quite the rollercoaster. New important friends are made, the Dark One is gaining power, and astonishing truths are learned.
Everyone is slowly trying to get to the safety of Tar Valon, but it is proving to be a daunting task. Moiraine, Lan, and Nynaeve make it to Whitebridge, but after Rand and Mat have already fled.
