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.....

    One of my favorites in the series

    Perrin & Faile in the Two Rivers is well-written & moving. Matrim becoming the man he is fated to be and of course Egwene starts Dreamwalker training. Rand is well, Rand. Heads up on huge battle at the end.

  • I do not know why I like this series, I mean the protagonist is almost a walking cliche`, the portrayal of women is awful, not quite powerless, but always scheming and plotting in the shadows, the books so far always end up in a hyper-powered magical showdown, but I cannot help, I like it...
    Sigh...

    TSR is definitely my favorite book of the series. Every single plot thread is amazing and exciting. Robert Jordan managed to make a well-constructed story with the right amount of dramatic tension, and unlike several other books in this series the pace wans't affected at all.

    In this book RJ wrote what I believe it to be the most beautiful scene of the whole WoT (the one with Rand entering the Rhuidean glass columns). I truly love the story of the Aiel, it's so tragic, moving and well-written that it made my tears roll.

    Also, Perrin, who happens to be one of my favourite characters, got much more 'screen time'. Unfortunately, annoying Faile too, but it was compensated by the cool epic scenes in the Two Rivers.

    And Siuan and the WT...

    And Matt...

    I'd better stop here. Don't wanna spoil that much.
