I have been waiting anxiously for The Gathering Storm for four years and I wasn’t disappointed. Though Brandon Sanderson was the primary author on this book, the story fits seamlessly into Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time epic.
The Gathering Storm is the 12th book in the Wheel of Time series. The Tarmon Gai’don, the last battle, is quickly approaching. The forces of Light fear that the Dragon Reborn, Rand al’Thor, is not ready to fight it, let alone win.
Rand is working hard to unite the nations under his banner so he will have his army to fight the Dark One. However, he is quickly becoming a hardened leader except for the signs of insanity that seem to appear. The Seanchan now are the largest force he is facing. He is trying to bring them under his banner and still keep all of the other nations allied.
Egwene al’Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is facing a similar challenge. She is still captive in the White Tower, but rather than plot her escape, she is seeking ways to rejoin her rebels with the Aes Sedai in the White Town. She know the Seachan will attack the White Tower and if it is still split, the Seanchan will certainly be the victor.
The Gathering Storm is a great book and I’m already waiting anxiously for the next one.
