A review by rossbm
The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan
2.0
(listend as French audiobook)
What's it about?
It's the fourth book in the "epic" Wheel of Time fanstasy saga. After most of the character met up at the end of the third book, they split again with in the fourth book. The book is told from multiple characters point of views. Rand doesn't get much time, despite being the most important character and having the most time in the first book.
What did I think?
There's a lot of filler and fluff in this book. Since I have already read in English (a long time ago), I can follow along even if I am not paying close attention. The story isn't bad, but not captivating. Too much "men vs women". Pretty weird. A decent amount of stuff happens in this book. I think that it might be most impactful book. But less stuff happens then I remember. I guess some of the stuff that I thought happened in this book actually happens in Book 5? I might (re)read/listen book 5, and decide if I will continue with the series. But either way, taking a break from this series. The ratio of interesting to fluff is too low.
