Rand (the main character) barely appears in this part of the series, which is good news as he's starting to get quite annoying.
Mat really starts to become the reluctant hero he truly is, and Perrin starts to show signs of what he is to become as well.
This is a fairly important part of the series with a number of conflicts with the Dark One's forces, including the Black Ajah and some of the Forsaken.
At this stage, the series is still moving apace and is thoroughly enjoyable.

This is the first military sci-fi book I ever read. Unfortunately, once I was done with the series, I couldn't find anymore like it. What I loved is that Black Jack Geary was the epitome of the reluctant hero and I'm a total sucker for that kind of character. The idea that he had been floating around in space in a lifepod frozen in susepended animation and wakes up a hundred years after he entered the lifepod is a great plot device. He wakes up to find out that he's become a legend and a hero, and yet he doesn't feel like one. After all, he lost his ship in the battle that sent him into the lifepod.

I didn't think I'd be able to follow the complicated space battles but they were so well written, I had no trouble at all. Of course, keep in mind, I have nothing to compare it too. I didn't even like Star Wars very much.

I don't know why, but for some reason Asia (and Japan in particular) seems to have a thing for Giant Monsters (think Godzilla) and for Giant Robots (think BattleTech).

Or, as they're called in this series (and elsewhere? I don't know) Kaiju and Jaegers respectively.

This is a sequel to the best non-Godzilla Godzilla movie (in all but name), this time starring Star Wars own John Boyega as its reluctant hero, as the son of the "we're cancelling the apocalypse" hero from the first move, and who gets drawn back into the whole military training around the Jaegers 10 years after the events of that last movie.

Just in time, then, for him to be in place as the undersea breaches reopen and more of those Kaiju to come through ...

Dumb fun, but seemingly lacking something (although you can actually see what's happening in the battles this time around!) compared to the original, or to the various 'official' Godzilla/King Kong/etc movies.
