Advantages: fantastic imagery, solid plot, complex characters

Disadvantages: for fantasy lovers only

The second book in Robert Jordan's epic saga of good and evil is actually one of the best in the Wheel of Time series.

Set in the a mystical world populated with weird creatures and powerful magicians called Aes Sedai, the Wheel of Time tells the story of a land where time repeats itself, each time with some new faces and some old.

This book is all about recovering the Horn of Valere which is rumoured to summon heroes of the past to the present day where they would fight on the good side in the Last Battle. It is in this book that Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, comes face to face with the Dark One (or so it seems anyway).

Robert Jordan's elegant and eloquent writing style makes it the book a joy to read with some absolutely magnificent and vivid imagery that bring the world of The Wheel of Time to life in your mind. Jordan's characters are as complex as ever and his mastery of storytelling is great.

Summary: You must read this book if you love fantasy!
