Description
“The Gathering Storm” is the twelfth book in the “Wheel of Time” series, a popular epic fantasy series written by Robert Jordan. This book, however, was not authored by Robert Jordan alone but was completed by Brandon Sanderson after Jordan’s passing.
The “Wheel of Time” series is known for its complex world-building, rich character development, and intricate plot. It’s set in a fantasy world where magic is called “the One Power,” and it follows the journey of various characters as they become involved in a world-spanning conflict between the forces of Light and Dark.
In “The Gathering Storm,” the story continues as the forces of the Light prepare for the final confrontation with the Dark One. The novel focuses on key characters like Rand al’Thor, Egwene al’Vere, and Mat Cauthon as they face their own challenges and confrontations.
Brandon Sanderson, a respected fantasy author in his own right, was chosen to complete the series based on Robert Jordan’s extensive notes and outlines. His work in bringing the series to its conclusion was widely praised for maintaining the spirit and style of Jordan’s storytelling.
“The Gathering Storm” is a significant installment in the “Wheel of Time” series, marking a turning point in the narrative and setting the stage for the series’ conclusion. It was published in 2009, and the series concluded with the final book, “A Memory of Light,” also authored by Brandon Sanderson, in 2013.
