The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan
5.0
The Dragon Reborn is the third in the Wheel of Time series and continues almost immediately on from The Great Hunt.
The Dragon Reborn is the first book in which Jordan hands the story over to the others characters; we still get glimpses of Rand but this is no longer just Rand’s story but that of an end of an age.
There is a great scene involving Perrin in this book. He sees a blacksmith and we're witness to some great writing as Jordan opens up Perrin’s mind so that we can understand his turmoil.
My one criticism of the book is Moiraine. I find her overly aggravating throughout this book, particularly as she tends to dangle the carrot far too much.
The Black Ajah starts to become more prominent in this book, something that resonates throughout the series, and becomes a catalyst or component for many of the story arcs.
