Coming in at 680 pages, The Shadow Rising put a big dent in my April reading. These books are so worth it though. I wasn't going to order more in the series till I had winnowed down my TBR pile, but they're irresistible, and I now have Fires of Heaven and Lord of Chaos in hand.
Rand now rules from the Stone of Tear. He tries to mete out justice and encourages the nobles to be fair to farmers and any who are struggling.
Moiraine is convinced time is short and that Rand must make a move, and he says he has one planned, but he will tell no one what it is. He has a very good reason for keeping his next moves secret.
At Tar Valon, Min, the girl who sees glimpses of the future, sees disaster coming to the Tower. She tries to warn the Amyrlin Seat, but all comes tumbling down anyway.
With the Children of the Light moving on Two Rivers, home to all of our beloved characters, Perrin feels he has to go and try to defend his home. Time is of the essence and he takes a company of men through a Waygate with Loial's help.
Mat, attempting to get answers, uses an ancient device that reveals strange, somehow hungry beings who advise him to go to the shrouded city of Rhuidean in the Aiel Wastes.
Egwene travels to the Aiel wastes to learn Dreamwalking from the wise women there.
Nynaeve and Elayne travel to Tanchico, following the Black Ajah and attempting to stop them finding something they will use against Rand.
I just love the storytelling, the writing, the characters.
