The dragon is reborn but it's not clear who it is. Now a group of farmers have to travel across the kingdom to seek the help of the mysterious Aes Sedai. 

This book starts out a little slow with introducing the world and the characters but it picks up after the first couple of chapters. (Though the chapters are very long so.) The characters felt very real and made very human mistakes. The magic was also very interesting though I hope that in the next book goes further into how the magic works. 

I will say that the beginning of this book is similar to the first season of the show but the second half of the book is mostly different. The book is much slower than the show so keep that in mind. 

Overall, really interesting story and I'm excited to read more.
