'The Shadow Rising' is a great fourth installment in the 'Wheel of Time' series. This book sees some significant plot points and I felt that it advanced the story more than some of the previous books. I know that some of the upcoming books will start to drag so I am using the positive momentum from this book to head into the rest of the series.
