The Gathering Storm Wheel of Time Book 12 Robert Jordan Brandon Sanderson 8601415688238 Books

From the get go The Gathering Storm seemed to be one of the great books in the series... It did not dissapoint. This book brings back a lot of scenes from the earlier entries which is great as it allows you to remember how much have our young heroes grown.

We finally see a conclusion to many of the storylines that had been dragging for many books. And oh my how did these end! Spoilers below

...

Masema, Verin, the rebel Aes Sedai, Elaida, Garret & Siuan, Graendal (?)... So many loose ends tied.

...

Egwene's encounter against the Seanchan was the epic consummation of my official liking of this character whom I only started to really like in book 11. Her development in this book is enough for me to like her as a character now. Not only does she display maturity, patience, control... She's a total badass... I got goosebumps reading about her second night serving Elaida... And her quick thinking during the Seanchan raid!!! She rocked this book...

Rand Al'Thor... He got very big developments... His second encounter with Sehmirage brought him to the brink of destruction... We see a Rand overwhelmed by the weight of his duty... The end, while a bit on the cheesy end was beautifully written. The emotion, the stakes... It was a personal struggle that somehow felt as epic as his encounters with the Forsaken... He had the most difficult battle so far... The battle against his own soul... And love won. Beautiful.

This is one of my top 3 now... There with Shadow Rising and The Fires of Heaven.

The Gathering Storm Wheel of Time Book 12 Robert Jordan Brandon Sanderson 8601415688238 Books Reviews

Although not perfect, and overly long, this volume is an uncanny relief from the thousands and thousands of terrible pages from Jordan’s last five books. So many grand moments here, rich action rooted in realized characters. True conflict head on. Prose with syntax that doesn’t twist the brain with its incompetence. An erasure of wooden character tics and erasure of repetitive descriptions. Scenes that elicited both gooseflesh and tears. Yes, a welcome and pleasurable reprieve. Because of RJ’s plodding, I am now weary of this story and characters, impatient for it to be over, but I’m happy and pleased the denouement is in such a capable writer’s hands.
Creation itself is at stake. The pattern is beginning to unravel and reality is in danger. The dead walk the land. Cities rise out of the earth and disappear again. Across the world gray skies hide the sun for weeks on end. Set against this backdrop, The Gathering Storm details the beginning of Tarmon Gai'don.

The Gathering Storm focuses mostly on Egwene and her battle from within the Tower and also on Rand and his growing emotional instability as he follows the road to what he thinks will be his own demise. This book is tightly focused, delivering powerful emotional punches and quite a few answers and resolutions for some major characters. While there is a small bit on Mat, Egwene and Rand are the centers of the book and all the other points of view are interwoven into the main plots rather than left to begin new plots. Mercifully, there is no Elayne in this book. And very little of Perrin.

The Egwene sections of the book are some of the most powerful of the series. It's interesting to continue to watch her rise. And offers a good foil for the Rand sections of the book because we continue to see him fall. Into possible madness. Into emotional turmoil. Into self-doubt. And though there are some confrontations with Forsaken here (including an intriguing one with Ishamael-Moridin), it is Rand himself who seems more frightening than the Forsaken.

The Gathering Storm is a remarkable achievement because it brings back the feeling of the first six books. Not bad for someone who was not the author of the first six books.

Apparently Sanderson also loved sniffing because he returned the level of sniffing to a point not seen since A Crown of Swords. Bastard.

Yes Sanderson is different than Jordan, and in some ways that's a good thing. The story was slipping out of Jordan's hands like Saidar for Elaine during her pregnancy. Sanderson exerts control of the story and gets things done. Tarmon Gai'don starts to feel imminent rather than just being a misty figure on a distant horizon that never gets any closer.

Egwene's battle for the white tower continues, and she is incredible in this book. She makes one of the most quotable statements of the series as her confrontation with Elaine hits critical mass “I’d name you Darkfriend as well, but I suspect the Dark One would perhaps be embarassed to associate with you”.

Rand's battle with madness and despair continues. He's on the verge of losing the last battle before it even begins in earnest. It wasn't as powerful a moment for me as some, but many readers were deeply moved by the process of working through that.

Verin, a character I paid little attention to throughout the series, has an amazing moment of her own raising herself to the status of a critical player.

Perrin and Matt are almost an afterthought in this book, and if there was any time spent on Elayne I've already forgotten it. Aviendha is set up for important personal growth that is yet to come.

This book is filled with great moments and the story moves. It is the first time since book six that I thoroughly enjoyed myself almost the entire time.

Well done Sanderson and RIP Jordan. Thank you for making it possible for your story to be finished.
