Description
The sixth novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.
Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, strives to bind the nations of the world to his will, to forge the alliances that will fight the advance of the Shadow and to ready the forces of Light for the Last Battle.
But there are other powers that seek to command the war against the Dark One. In the White Tower the Amyrlin Elaida sets a snare to trap the Dragon, whilst the rebel Aes Sedai scheme to bring her down.
And as the realms of men fall into chaos the immortal Forsaken and the servants of the Dark plan their assault on the Dragon Reborn . . .

Das Rad der Zeit dreht sich
High Fantasy wie sie sein soll. Rand hat seine Rolle als wiedergeborener Drache akzeptiert, Nynaeve vollbringt etwas, was keine Aes Sedai für möglich hielt und Perrin und seine Wölfe eilen mal wieder zur Rettung. Diese Reihe macht nach wie vor großen Spaß. Ich lese sofort weiter.
Should I give five stars because it is so much better than the other stuff that I've read in the last weeks? Or should I give it four stars because it is a bit slow and uneventful comparing to the other Wheel of Time-books I've read? I still like all the characters and that it's written from so many point of views. (Aside from the Black Ajah or mysterious dark characters that are only relevant to remind the reader of the evil that is coming sloooowly.) I still enjoy reading about Aes Sedai and the adventures of the Accepted now Aes Sedai and Amyrlin Seat. I still like that the main characters aren't always on the same page and not always best friends. Mat is a bit exhausting, especially with the other main characters but I really liked that Perrin is finally back in action again, that means not in the Two Rivers but with his friends and the Dragon Reborn. All in all it felt like the beginning of a book and not a book on its own. I imagine it could be way too long for some readers but this is epic fantasy and epic means long. I really really love a book with many pages and I loved "Lord of Chaos" although not too much happens if you don't count a lot of sweating and learning how not to sweat any longer, talking, trying to play the Game of Houses and trying to recover ancient knowledge that is sometimes found and more often left to discover in the next novels. I can't wait to read on.
