The Wheel of Time saga continues! Shortly after A Crown of Swords . . .
Rand, fresh off victory in Ilian, hears of a new Seanchan threat and turns his attention to the west . . . can he prevail against them a second time?
With Mat stuck in Ebou Dar to an unknown fate, Elayne and company use the Bowl of Winds with surprising results. Elayne then seeks to reclaim her mother's throne . . .
Perrin and company are on the move, to reign in the self-proclaimed 'Prophet of the Dragon' who has been wreaking havoc in the area. The 'rogue' Aes Sedai, with Egwene in charge, also march, intent on war with an increasingly fractured White Tower and Elaida . . .
Rand's Black Tower- the grouping and teaching of men who can channel- are increasing in leaps and bounds, but not without cost . . .
------------
The review of this volume could mirror the last- very slow at the beginning, for the majority of the book, and speeds up at the end. Increasing numbers of minor characters are difficult for me to track, all while the glossary in each book is getting progressively worse. Overall, I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the uneven pacing and hundreds of pages of inactivity. Eight books down, six to go. I hope it picks up the pace.
Rating: B-
