Not much actually happened in The Dragon Reborn but it was more engaging than the previous two books. Ch10, 11, Ch13 through 18, 92% of Ch21, Ch22, 23, Ch25 through 27, Ch37 through 39, Ch48, 30% of Ch49, 26% of Ch54, and 14% of Ch55 Manetheren.” Mat froze when he heard the name come out of his mouth. “I mean, I’m from the Two Rivers. I have heard too many old stories.”
An Aielman in a cage,” she said promptly. “A Tuatha’an with a sword. A falcon and a hawk, perching on your shoulders. Both female, I think. And all the rest, of course. What is always there. Darkness swirling ’round you, and—” This was a really good book, and I’m so glad. I’m actually looking forward to reading the next one. The side characters really make this series worthwhile. If you ignore Rand, like I‘m trying to do, you will see how complex and versatile these other characters are. Their stories are much more interesting on every level. The world is also rich in opposing culture and beliefs. I like the way the “forces of good” are divided and mistrusting of each other. The Children of the Light are potentially morally right, but they are misguided and confused as to what is actually evil. Their ethos is right, though they just execute it in a roundabout way. It will be interesting to see if they become pawns of the dark one or see the error of their ways. I love these conflicting ideas. Everything is becoming even more complicated than before and no one seems able to pull apart from the ta’veren’s attraction into the Pattern’s web.After leaving in secret, Moiraine, Lan, and Perrin follow always one step behind. Rand leaves in his trail a pattern of weddings and strange events. I don't know if prior-to-book 3-Mat was part of Jordan's character growth process, or if he just got bored with the character--I certainly found the early version to be tiresome--but when Mat wakes from being Healed in Tar Valon, he's almost a completely different person. The Wheel of Time Box Set 5: Books 13, 14 & prequel (Towers of Midnight, A Memory of Light, New Spring) However, TWO very important things happen in this installment (and those two things make all the difference): Her appearance is also the first concrete manifestation (with long-term consequences) of one of Min's Viewings.
The Dragon Reborn is the third book in the WoT series and so far the only one worth it's hype in my opinion. The plot progression and character development is at a snail's pace, it's only after three books that I finally started caring about the characters, even at that, it took me three whole months to finish this book, yes it was that uninspiring. Despite that I'll still continue this series, I'm invested now and wants to know how it all ends. Well, since this was my fifth time reading this book, I kinda rather knew what to expect, but I think I tend to enjoy it all the more because of it. So many details. So many characters. So much foreshadowing! Mat Cauthon, finally cured of the illness caused by his association with the ruby-hilted dagger, leaves Tar Valon with Thom Merrilin, journeying to Caemlyn and Tear.Mat's character development is my favourite in this book, I disliked him in the first and second book but now I like him. He is cynical but not evil, he loves his friends and is willing to help them when in need. Rand al'Thor has finally, and very reluctantly, embraced his destiny as the Dragon Reborn after the events at Almoth Plain. But his face is known throughout the nations now, and he is hunted relentlessly by the numerous followers of the Shadow. Thus begins a new journey, and at its end lies the Stone of Tear, the impregnable fortress of the Tairen in the far south. With something close to a snarl, he booted Stepper after the others. Zarine had to throw her arms around his waist to keep from being tossed over the dun’s crupper. He thought she was laughing.
