This book is the number one reason why I have not been coherent for my morning meetings for the past month. I had a hard time putting it down! I've just recently got into epic fantasies, and find them a bit daunting but I love Wheel of Time. I found the detail and intricacies given to the Aiel culture fascinating, and I felt like the magic capabilities were really explored more in The Shadow Rising. I think that we're finally getting to see a small glimpse of where Rand, Perrin, and Mat's paths are leading. I can't wait to read more.
