This is my favorite book in the series. I like the Perrin storyline best, and this centers on him and the Two Rivers quite a bit. I also loved learning more about the Aiel.

Robert Jordan's "The Dragon Reborn" - book 3 of "The Wheel of Time" - largely ignored Rand al'Thor, even though he is the central character of the series and the title character of that book. In book 4 - "The Shadow Rising" - Rand takes…

I really enjoyed this book! It definitely felt like a turning point in the series, like the end of act one (which makes sense given its about a third of the way through the series). The world continues to open up, lore continues to unfold,…

I felt like some parts of this book were a little bit harder to take then the previous books. I still really enjoyed the other parts- especially Perrin's bit.

Five stars alone for a stunning sequence in the midsection of the book that should be studied by every aspiring writer of the genre. Every plot line is a joy to follow; the second half of this book alone is worth reading the thousands of…

Jordan is a master of characters and world-building. There's no one that can write a better character arc than him. This is the book where Perrin takes charge and becomes who he was born to be, where Rand starts accepting his fate and his…

The fourth (or fifth, depending on if you count the prequel) book of The Wheel Of Time series, The Shadow Rising, picks up right where The Dragon Reborn left off and focuses mainly on four different perspectives. Rand tries to get all the…

Jordan's fourth volume in a 14 volume long epic continues to deliver, with epic battles, fullfilled prophecies and a bunch of other cool stuff. Without a doubt, this series contains the best example I've ever found of intricate, detailed…

This was my least favorite yet. I made it through however. I still look forward to reading more WoT books yet. The beginning was 200 straight pages of nothing happening. What's worse than the lack of events or anything for that matter,…

Yes, you read that page total correctly; at 1006 pp., The Shadow Rising, Book Four in Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series, is also easily the longest book in the series. After temporarily meeting up in the coast city of Tear, our merry band of…

Again, Jordan does not disappoint. Instead of gushing like a little kid about the language, the brilliant characterizations, the perfect amount of description (not too much and not too little), the epic story itself I thought I'd mention a…

This book is amazing. Things are finally starting to get into motion and all of the characters are getting their own plot threads. I recommend that you keep reading this series!

I think this whole series is one of the best written

The best of the series. Perrin and the Two River folks? Pure epic. What can I say more, it brought tears to my eyes. Only bad part is the rest of the series, though incredible, can't live up to this near perfect masterpiece of fantasy. If…

Definitely more exciting than Dragon Reborn. This is where Rand Al Thor finally starts to weave his own plans and his own pattern.

I found this book soooo dry! It was hard for me get through, but I have been enjoying the series so far and I decided to push through! I am excited and I am enjoying book five so far!
