Times change. People change. Too much change for me. I suppose I am growing old." ~Gill 45, Caemlyn, 528 Dragon Reborn

After reading book 2 “ The Great Hunt” , I could't control my curiosity and I bought book 3 “ The Dragon Reborn” the very next day and for once I was not disappointed.This book was like flying a kite ...a steady cool breeze, cloudless sky, the Vividh Bharati in the background playing “ Fauji bhaiyo ki Farmaish” and suddenly the wind picks up and you are struggling to control the kite and invariably cut your fingers. I think I forgot to mention that you are on the terrace, standing on the edge ;) and after a few minutes of struggling its all serene and quiet as if nothing had happened. In this book the main characters truly come into their own, settling into and accepting their roles and fates in the world. For a book named the Dragon Reborn, the Dragon Reborn i.,e Rand, plays a decidedly small part in it. Most of the action is focused on Mat, Perrin, and the three Aes Sedai in training. I really want to thank Robert Jordan for not describing what was going on in Rand's head while he's going mad. Believe me I know how it feels ( uhahahaaaaaaaha ). Some of the action scenes are truly awesome like Perrin (who can talk to wolves) fighting Trollocs (read an excerpt here) truly sent a chill down my spine. I didn’t give much notice to Mat but gosh he is funny and we learn that he has been cursed to be lucky. There is this instance when Mat is climbing rooftops in the night, thinking he’s the only person on the rooftop when suddenly the Aiel*( warriors) stand up next to him and he’s surrounded by 4 of them. He never noticed them and is taken by surprise and is talking to them when another dude (the thief catcher) comes out from the dark. Mat is swearing when he sees so many people on the rooftop when boom more Aiel stand up behind theThief Catcher. uahhaahaha that was so funny.(read the excerpt here). I always felt that a book should have a pinch of humor and sarcasm and this book has the right amount . Mr Robert for the love of “Microphones” please don’t let Nynaeve tug her braid so many times, it might just come off.I think my favorite characters are Moiraine and Lan. Of course if you haven’t read any of the books in this series, you would be wondering what the hell I’m rambling about, right? I am recommending this series to my sister, it seems she’s currently reading some stuff about genetic cloning and listen to this they are successful in creating Angels..uhahahahaha..duh!! Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget." Thom Merrilyn 47, To Race the Shadow, 549
