reviewed The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time, #4)

A little slow, but great plot progression and arcs

No rating

The Shadow Rising is when things start to get grander and larger, and pieces start to fit into place.

The book starts off very slowly, but the main character arcs in this book are very satisfying, especially Perrin's. While it took me a while to get through the first half of the book, the second half of the book is gripping and I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Solid, if unexceptional

3 stars

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.
