Published 2021 by Orbit.
The fourth novel in one of the most influential fantasy series of all time - now also a major TV series.
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again.
What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
The Wheel of Time has enthralled millions of readers worldwide. Now complete, this international No. 1 bestselling series is one of the greatest fantasy epics ever written.
The Shadow Rising is when things start to get grander and larger, and pieces start to fit into place.
The book starts off very slowly, but the main character arcs in this book are very satisfying, especially Perrin's. While it took me a while to get through the first half of the book, the second half of the book is gripping and I can't wait to find out what happens next.

I very nearly gave up on this series after the third book, but this one is quite an improvement. The world building is coming together quite well and the main characters -- especially Perrin -- are becoming less annoying and more interesting.
Overall, The Wheel of Time is proving to be good enough, but it really doesn't live up to its reputation.
