DESCRIPTION:
Jordan can always be counted to ground his dizzying intrigues in solid chunks of cultural detail, and he here rises to the occasion, with chapters as dense as Spenserian stanzas with symbols and rituals. The warmongering Seanchan are pouring into Ebou Dar, setting refugees in flight and complex schemes in fidgety motion. Perrin Aybara is distracted from his mission to shepherd the prophet Masema to Rand when he pursues the rebel Aiel who have kidnaped his wife, Faile. . From Publishers Weekly The ninth installment in Jordan's sprawling Wheel of Time saga is as bountifully pregnant with plot threads as its predecessorsDand as bewilderingly esoteric for readers who have yet to commit its previous episodes to memory. The mystical sisterhood of the Aes Sedai remain divided between Elaida, pretender to the title of the White Tower, and Egwene al'Vere, ally to Elayne, Queen of Andor. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, seems no nearer to fulfill

I'm going through the series for the second time, and was hoping that since I now know ho. Not the best M. Staven Thompson I like the story, yet this book took me forever to read. I just didn't feel as engaged with this book as I had with the others. The ending was fast and furious but it was too fast and not enough build up to really grasp the story. The middle really dragged with what I thought to be extra fluff but it may all tie into together.. Amazon Customer said Overallwell done!. A wonderful and enjoyable read. Jordan does a great job ofbringing the rest of the characters up to date with Egwene's march onthe White Tower. Sorry, you won't see that battle in this book but hehad to fill in the month while Egwene sat in Murandy and let her armyrest up. And a good thing he did. Alot happened that I don't thinkwe would have wanted to miss. (None of us really wanted to seedetails on Bryne's recruiting and Egwene's attempts to feed her army,did we?)So, everyone missed Mat in book 8? Well, here he is andnow folks are upset becau
