Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Rand is on the run with Min, and in Cairhein, Cadsuane is trying to figure out where he is headed. Rand's destination is, in fact, one she has never considered.
Mazrim Taim, leader of the Black Tower, is revealed to be a liar. But what is he up to?
Faile, with the Aiel Maidens, Bain and Chiad, and her companions, Queen Alliandre and Morgase, is prisoner of Savanna's sept.
Perrin is desperately searching for Faile. With Elyas Machera, Berelain, the Prophet and a very mixed "army" of disparate forces, he is moving through country rife with bandits and roving Seanchan. The Forsaken are ever more present, and united, and the man called Slayer stalks Tel'aran'rhiod and the wolfdream.
In Ebou Dar, the Seanchan princess known as Daughter of the Nine Moons arrives - and Mat, who had been recuperating in the Tarasin Palace, is introduced to her. Will the marriage that has been foretold come about?
There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it is a beginning...

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This one is a bit slow to start. At first we follow Perrin for a bit, as he learns that Faile has been captured. We also follow Elayne as she struggles to make Andor hers and take the throne that is hers by birthright. We also get to see (finally!) what has happened with Mat and how he manages to escape the Seanchan and Ebou Dar. We get to learn a little bit more about the Sea Folk, and we get to watch as Elayne and Aviendha finally adopt each other as first-sisters.
Interspersed are a few chapters with Rand and Min, telling us just what they have been up to. It all comes together at the end, though, as the action suddenly picks up in an exciting battle against the Forsaken while both Rand and Nynaeve are incapacitated. Definitely an exciting addition to the series - especially considering what Rand manages to do by the end of the final chapter. I won't give that away - you'll have to read for yourself!
Next up: Crossroads of Twilight.
You can purchase Winter's Heart through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
