Lanfear is dead. During her attack on Cairhien, Rand's Aes Sedai advisor and mentor, Moirane Damodred, sacrificed herself to defeat the powerful Forsaken. Now ruling Tear, Cairhien, and Andor, Rand must balance the needs of three nations while trying to fulfill his destiny as the Dragon Reborn. When an unexpected visitor arrives on his doorstep, Rand enlists him to begin the "Black Tower," a sanctuary where men who can channel can be transformed into perfect weapons known as Asha'man. Meanwhile, as Egwene is summoned to the Rebel Tower in Salidar, Rand sends Mat, Aviendha, and Mat's army, known as the Band of the Red Hand, to bring her back. When Elaida, the Amyrlin usurper, sends an emissary to Rand to convince him to come to the White Tower to begin a "partnership" between Rand and Elaida, he realizes that every move he makes could be fatal. When a heinous treachery is unveiled, it will take all of Rand's allies to right the wrong committed.
I enjoyed Lord of Chaos greatly. However, there were swaths of pages that I just found to be slow and difficult to get through. Aside from those troublesome sections, I the was book full of intrigue and a compelling read. For all of those WoT enthusiasts like me, and for those who are just starting the series, Lord of Chaos is a fantastic installment in Robert Jordan's fantasy epic. And by the way . . . Dumai's Wells!
(If you haven't read the book DO NOT look those last two words up. It will ruin the novel)
