This volume in the epic tale of A Wheel In Time opens with a battle. Rand has escaped from the Aes Sedai who captured him and tried to take him to The White Tower. With the Wise Women and the channeling men at his side, Rand defeats those Shaido warriors who were defying him, and has taken the Aes Sedai who dared to capture him hostage. As they return to the capital city, others in the group have their own missions.
Nynaeve, Elaine, Aviendha and Mat are on the hunt for the fabled bowl that can end the heat wave the world is caught in. Nynaeve is reunited with her great love, Lan. Egwene, as the head of the rebel Aes Sedai, is collecting women from all over the world who can channel in a giant collective of women to defeat the evil arising. Rand is preparing for his battle with the Forsaken, Sammuel but along the way he takes a new step in his relationship with Min.
This is the seventh book in the epic series. This one was more story building than climatic events as foundations are laid for more things to happen in later volumes. Rand is questioning whether he has begun the process of losing himself to insanity as all men who channel eventually do. He is at times masterful and at others bombastic as he adjusts from being a village boy to the Dragon Reborn with more power and responsibility than anyone has ever faced. This book is recommended for epic fantasy readers.
