Publisher's summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.

In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?

In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.

In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.

In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.

Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn....

More setup for the end of the series hang in there

This is all the in between stuff that the street needed for a solid ending. While not my favorite, and most uneventful of all the books, it's still a necessary piece of this incredibly complex and satisfying adventure. This is my fourth time through the series and I'm loving every minute of it.

the sound editing awful

sound editing was almost unbearable. honestly the only reason it isn't gamebreaking is cause the story was so boring/idle the skipped seconds and words were barely noticeable

Slow and rough in some spots but push thru

I love this series but this is my last favorite book in it. Some parts of it are just a chore to get thru.

My least favorite of the WoT books by Jordan

This is very much a filler book after the cleansing of the male half of the power, but before the unification of the tower or Mat's marriage.

great reading of boring material.

this is a lot of words that dont add much to the plot. Elane is pregnant, she feels Nynave channeling to clean the male half of the source, wants to go to Rand but is talked out of it. there are alot of folks telling Elane she cant do anything because she is pregnant. She talks to the borderlanders who are going to pass through Andor looking for Rand and uses it to help secure her throne, small plots to take the throne by other high named women of Andor and not much else. Perrin gets his woman back, Elang gets captured. chapter 23 and on is where the story continues on past gossiping.
