    Laurien's Journey Through The Shadow Rising

    I've finally done it! I've made it through The Shadow Rising! Job changes, residence changes, and school certainly didn't help, but I finally reached the end and am eager to start The Fires of Heaven. TSR has definitely been my favorite so far. I love all the parts dealing with Rhuidean...

    Laurien's Journey Through The Shadow Rising

    I'm actually in the process of reading it again, this time out loud since doing so seems to help me retain more.

I'm reading whenever I...

However, the prophecies have been around for much longer than any of them, and the fact that Siuan and Moiraine believe that the only possible way Rand can fulfill those prophecies is with them steering him is what irks me. The prophecies will come...

    Laurien's Journey Through The Shadow Rising

    Chapter 1: Seeds of Shadow - No prologue this time. Interesting! - Siuan's admission that they're trying to steer Rand is infuriating, but it has me shaking my head. The Tower's hubris is going to come around to bite them in a big way pretty soon, I think. - Poor Min! Now she's going to have to...
