The Shadow Rising

High water mark of the series, maybe topped only once or twice before the finale trilogy with Brandon Sanderson. So many great moments throughout:

• Callandor and the limits of The Power


• Perrin and Faile and the scourging of the Two Rivers


• First encounter with the Eelfinn and the Aelfinn


• Tel'aran'rhiod and its inhabitants


• Discovering more of The Forsaken


• The history and truth of the Aiel
