VOYA

The saga of the Dragon Reborn continues. In the Wheel of Time series, author Jordan has created a complex fantasy world rivaling that of Tolkien and other great masters. Rand, after a brief captivity among rebel Aes Sendai, continues his drive, with his army of Aiel warriors, to gather strength around him for the ultimate meeting with the Dark One. Egwene, the new rival Amyrlin, marches toward Tar Valon with an army to unseat Elaida. The Forsaken are abroad in the land; the taint of evil increases as the bonds on the Dark One weaken. Jordan has been accused of being wordy, but the scope of this epic is vast and detailed. His greatest strength is in his characters, who continue to develop and mature as the series continues. This volume, the seventh in the series, is as well written as the others and sets the stage for the next. It is almost a necessity to read the books in order. For lovers of fantasy, the journey is well worth it.
