A review by rwalker101
The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

things i liked: elayne and nynaeve accidentally befriending a seanchan lmfao. perrin & faile (eventually). laughing at perrin ("i'm nothing but a simple blacksmith 😔" bitch you are a WEREWOLF and TA'VEREN SHUT UPPP).

things i didn't like: this book felt so long for such little narrative payoff and i just know it's only going to get worse
