somasis 's review for:
The Shadow Rising
by Robert Jordan
I love this volume! It's so good to finally get into the Aiel wastes and Perrin's story is easily the most interesting of the bunch. Jordan just makes the world seem to big in this book, with our various heroes spreading out to distant lands and the action just keeps ramping up. There are events and actions in The Shadow Rising whose consequences will irrecoverably change the world. BIG THINGS! I'm starting to remember details from later books and I'm REALLY excited to get there.
That being said, I really need to space these out more, when I read them too close together Jordan's quirks start to get under my skin. For example, I'm really getting tired of this whole gender/battle of the sexes thing he has going on, he portrays the men as idiots and the women as shrews. Not a fan. And Fiale, I do not care how much you love a person or how mad you are that they recklessly put themselves in danger, you DO NOT get to hit Perrin. You've got to use your WORDS, but that's the problem with all of them, men and women just can't communicate effectively, or at all. Argh, and that's the most believable relationship in the bunch (So far, I do like Rand's 3rd love interest best, though that hasn't really gotten off the ground yet.) I get that this is DESTINY and the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, but COME ON. I'm over all this insta-love crap, would it be too much to ask for people to have more than one conversation with each other before they pledge undying love.
Like I said, I really need to space these out more.
