Another one that I enjoyed by the end, but that had a very bloated page count and dragged its feet until about halfway through.
Rand deals with delegations from the two separate groups of Aes Sedai and takes a hands-off approach to Mazrim Taim building him an army of men who can channel. Min arrives with the Salidar Aes Sedai in Caemlyn and proceeds in attempting to snag her man. Meanwhile, Elayne and Nynaeve discover a new MacGuffin to go after in Ebou Dar. Rand sends Mat to Salidar on a mission to bring back Elayne. Perrin, Faile, and Co. set out to join Rand. Whew.
The romantic hijinks were entertaining--Rand's love quadrangle gets more and more interesting. Classic "I have to keep you away from me for your own safety" and all of the women are like "Yeah, no."
I'm curious as to whether Rand is actually going mad, or if he hears the voice of the real Lews Therin. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing if my guess about why Lews Therin turns into a gibbering homicidal maniac near Mazrim Taim pans out in the next books.
I did NOT anticipate the twist about Aran'gar. (In the words of Austin Powers, "That ain't no woman. It's a man, man."
Nynaeve's healing powers = awesome. Now when will she get rid of her block? When she does, she'll be unstoppable.
The lions sing and the hills take flight. The moon by day, and the sun by night. Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool. Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
--chant from a children's game heart in Great Aravalon, the Fourth Age
The unstained tower breaks and bends knee to the forgotten sign. The seas rage, and stormclouds gather unseen. Beyond the horizon, hidden fires swell, and serpents nestle in the bosom. What was exalted is cast down; what was cast down is raised up. Order burns to clear his path.
--The Prophecies of the Dragon translation by Jeorad Manyard Governor of the Province of Andor for the High King, Artur Paendrag Tanreall

For Betsy
First words
Demandred stepped out onto the black slopes of Shayol Ghul, and the gateway, a hole in reality's fabric, winked out of existence.

The Great Lord's laughter filled Demandred's head.

Book description
Mentre la ruota del tempo gira, i venti del destino spazzano le terre. Rand al ‘Thor lotta strenuamente per riunire le nazioni in vista dell’ultima battaglia, contro le forze del Tenebroso-, mentre altri oscuri poteri tentano di assumere il controllo delle sue azioni. Dalla Torre Bianca di Tar Valon, guidata dall’Amyrlin Elaida, è stato stabilito che Rand deve essere frenato immediatamente. La siccità e il calore estivo continuano a ritardare l’inizio della stagione invernale, cosà Nynaeve al’Meara e Elayne, l’erede di Andor, cominciano una disperata ricerca del leggendario ter’angreal, che potrebbe conferire loro la facoltà di ripristinare le normali condizioni climatiche.
