The fourth novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.
The Stone of Tear, invulnerable fortress of legend, has fallen. The Children of the Dragon have risen to the call of prophecy and march to the aid of the Light. Callandor, the Sword That Is Not a Sword, is held by Rand al'Thor, the man proclaimed as the Dragon Reborn.
But still the shadows lengthen and still the Forsaken grow in strength. If he is to fight them, Rand must master the male half of the True Source, a power corrupted by the Dark One, a power that drives men to madness, a power that may save or damn the world.
I very nearly gave up on this series after the third book, but this one is quite an improvement. The world building is coming together quite well and the main characters -- especially Perrin -- are becoming less annoying and more interesting.
Overall, The Wheel of Time is proving to be good enough, but it really doesn't live up to its reputation.
