Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) In this sequel to the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Fires of Heaven, we plunge again into Robert Jordan's extraordinarily rich, totally unforgettable world:
On the slopes of Shayol Ghul, the Myrddraal swords are forged, and the sky is not the sky of this world;
In Salidar the White Tower in exile prepares an embassy to Caemlyn, where Rand Al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, holds the throne - and where an unexpected visitor may change the world....
In Emond's Field, Perrin Goldeneyes, Lord of the Two Rivers, feels the pull of ta'veren to ta'veren and prepares to march....
Morgase of Caemlyn finds a most unexpected, and quite unwelcome, ally....And south lies Illian, where Sammael holds sway...

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
In this installment, the reader finds themselves all over the world, following several different characters. Finally, more is heard of from Perrin, whose voice was silent in The Fires of Heaven. There is a lot of heavy foreshadowing involved as Rand meets with the two different Aes Sedai emissaries; Elayne and Nynaeve seek the Bowl of the Winds, a ter'angreal that might be able to fix the weather; and Perrin feels Rand tugging at him and makes the decision to go to him.
We also get to meet up with Min again, as she arrives in Caemlyn with the Salidar Aes Sedai. And we finally meet Mazrim Taim, the False Dragon who managed to escape and decided to come to Caemlyn for Rand's amnesty. There are also several chapters in Egwene's point of view, as she struggles to learn dreamwalking while being banned from the Dream by the Wise Ones (following the attack from Lanfear). Everything comes to a head in the final chapters at Dumai's Wells.
There were definitely parts in this book that felt like nothing was going to happen. But there was nothing that was included that should have been left out. The action really picks up towards the end, leaving one breathless.
Will Elayne and Nynaeve be successful in fixing the weather? Will Rand send Min away after the events of Dumai's Wells? Hopefully we'll get the answers in the next book: A Crown of Swords.
You can purchase Lord of Chaos through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
