Wheel of Time For a First-Time Reader: Video Review of The Shadow Rising

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”20201″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]I wrote previously about my reasons for finally deciding to dive into Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time. Since the editor here is so nice, he has decided it was fine by him to continue chronicling my adventures as a novice through “Randland.” For those who missed it, I recorded these first three “video diaries” immediately after finishing each to help me keep track of what happened in which book and I recently decided to turn them into individual reviews. Below you will find the video review for the fourth book in Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time; The Shadow Rising.

***Just a warning: all book reviews contain spoilers for each book. Please refrain from watching if you have not read each and plan to do so in the future.***

Will the White Tower itself be broken? In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn. In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland. In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve. Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn…
