Helpful Score: 4
An easy read at only 300 pages and gives a great review of Moraine and Siuan's backgrounds as accepted and Aes Sedai. Much information can be learned in this book about the White Tower and the Aiel Wars. Moraine and Lan's meeting among the many different stories.
This book is an epic beginning to a masterfully crafted saga. By taking us back to the "before times" I was compelled to read again the expansive and detailed story once more. New spring added another dimension and a new depth to the story I did not have the first time around. A must read for any Jordan fan, especially Wheel of Time fans.
Very good read. Ties things that happen later in the series together very well.
I read this book first before reading the series this time around (I have read the entire series once before). This book is about more about Siuan, Moiraine and Moiraine's Warder, Lan. To me it sets the stage for things to come.
