'The Shadow Rising' is a great fourth installment in the 'Wheel of Time' series. This book sees some significant plot points and I felt that it advanced the story more than some of the previous books. I know that some of the upcoming books will start to drag so I am using the positive momentum from this book to head into the rest of the series.

This book was so rich. Definitely my Favourite WOT Book So Far. I loved spending time with Elayne, her POV chapters were a joy because she's my favourite character. I also loved Egeanin, such an interesting woman and her growth and friendship with Elayne and to a degree Nynaeve, were so fun to watch.
