Advantages: robust plot, strong characters, excellent descriptions

Disadvantages: can be slow moving at times

The Dragon Reborn is the third book in Robert Jordan's excellent fantasy series called The Wheel of Time and it is, in my opinion, one of the finest fantasy series ever written.

The Wheel of Time is the tale of a world where time repeats itself and the dramas of history are re-enacted but with different faces and different stories each time. In this book, Rand al'Thor the book's protagonist travels across a distrustful and deceitful world full of dangers to the city of Tear where he must draw Callandor, the Sword that is Not a Sword from its incredibly well-guarded chamber, in order to realise his destiny and take the first step on fulfilling a prophecy that will put him face to face with the dreaded enemy, the Dark One.

The book has a strong plot that is gripping from beginning to end. Jordan's writing style is magnificent and full of some amazingly well-crafted imagery and descriptions that help to bring to life the world of the wheel of time with its diverse peoples and cultures. The characters are complex and developed very well while every 'side story' reveals some interesting and relevant information regarding the main plot.

I highly recommend the wheel of time series to all fans of fantasy books as it is an incredibly deep and well-crafted piece of literature.

Summary: A must-read for any fan of fantasy books
