Product Description
The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.
In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?
In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.
In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.
In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.
Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn.....

 Shadow Rising Review July 23, 2010

If you liked the first 4 books, you'll like this one. This is the one where things move past the beginning level adventure and into the nitty gritty. If you haven't read the first 4 books...do it. Start with the Eye of the World.
 Tough to read when it never shows up June 8, 2010

This supplier needs to use shipping methods that are capable of tracking. I paid 4 times as much for shipping as I did for the product itself, and it was still supposed to take 1-3 weeks to arrive. 3 weeks? Did they hire an orphan to run from Miami to Colorado with my book in hand? That's the only plausible explanation I can think of for anything to take 3 weeks to get anywhere in today's world. My book was supposed to show up by June 1, it is now June 8 and I have no idea where it is. They could at least give that poor orphan a bike for crying out loud.
$9.99 for the Kindle edition is flat out thievery February 8, 2010

$9.99 (Kindle edition) for a book that has been in paperback well over 10 years? I understand that Macmillan wants to charge a higher fee for new releases but this book is several dollars cheaper at your local bookstore and that price takes into account the printing of the book, transportation to the store, profit for the publisher and for the book seller. The electronic version shares almost none of those expenses yet they have decided to charge the consumer an extra $2.00? Shame on you Macmillan. Much like the music industry that failed to accept the future before it was too late, Macmillan seems focused on scalping the consumer for a few extra bucks now at the expense of a long term relationship with the buying public. Looks like I will just pull out my old paperback and save myself $10.
Macmillan/TOR price increase February 6, 2010

Macmillan has increased the price for this ebook, so they are now charging more for the zero per-unit-cost ebook than the paperback. In this pricing dispute with Amazon, Macmillan has claimed that the concern was about newly released books. This book has been in print for more than a decade. Any costs associated with producing this book we recouped a thousand fold before anyone ever thought of selling the ebook. Given that the cost to Macmillan of the ebook is essentially zero, Macmillan is now charging an unreasonable price for this ebook.

This book is great. How anyone can complain about a book that takes you to a whole other interesting world for 8 bucks is beyond me. Those who need action and plot movement in every single page may be a bit disappointed, but who has that short of an attention span? Oh wait, I just remembered what Age we are living in.
Anyhow this book is great, I think each book in the series keeps getting better. They say it lulls a little around book 9 - 11 and I will have to see. I love the world Robert Jordan creates so I am happy to get as much of the world as I can even if some of the books slow down a bit.
ONE NEGATIVE IS THAT at the time of writing this review I am UNABLE to purchase this book on my kindle. They SAY amazon is going to get them back on but we will have to see I guess. I just bought the kindle this week with the main idea that I could read this series on it, so I will be incredibly disappointed if I can not do that.
