![]() The pace of this book is a bit faster than the The Dragon Reborn and as such it reads a bit easier, even with all that is going on. The three main plotlines (with a mini Min plotline as a fourth) follow Rand's quest, Perrins journey with Faile to the Two Rivers (and the subsequent troubles there with whitecloaks) and Ewgene / Nynaeve at the White Tower. Portents abound with doom, will the White Tower of Tar Valon be broken? In the Two Rivers, the whitecloaks pursue a man with the eyes of a wolf and will destroy anything and anyone that get in their way. The seals of Shayol Ghul are weakening and the Dark Ones influence grows ever stronger. Rand then decides to do exactly what everyone is not expecting and returns to his true heritage. Rand is forced to use Callindor to wipe out the enemy and clear the stone. ![]() Lanfear asks Rand to join her but then the stone is stormed by Shadowspawn, Trollocs and Fades. Selene finally reveals to Rand that she is Lanfear, one of the Forsaken and free of confinement. Prophecy has been fullfilled, the Stone of Tear has been breached and Callindor - the sword that is not a sword has been wielded, the Dragon is reborn. ![]() The Shadow rising is the fourth book in the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan. ![]()
