"My favorite up to this point in the series. The time spent with the Aiel is fantastic as it seems like uncharted territory, at least from the Wetlander's POV. Rhuidean was fantastic and quite imaginative. The battle about 3/4 through this book was thrilling and heartwarming. Much to look forward to in the next book. "

"Yet another wonderfully crafted masterpiece, the true pinnacle of fantasy. LOTR has nothing on this."

"Probably The Shadow Rising. I really enjoy when Rand meets the Aiel and the experiences he has there. And, Mat’s character takes on a very fun aspect after he earns his Ashandarei in Rhuidean."

"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.<br/><br/><br/>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."

"This is one in a series. Consider reading the preceding books first. I recommend starting with either "New Spring" (prequel) or "The Great Hunt""

"I felt the series was dragging on at this point, so I stopped after Book 4 (this one). I'd personally only recommend Wheel of Time if you're a die-hard fantasy fan. "
