The Gathering Storm is the first of three compiled/writted by Brandon Sanderson after RJ's death. RJ was working on
A Memory of Light and lucky for us left behind notes and recordings of how the story ends. With a few exceptions, Sanderson does a good job.
- Mat, Rand, and Perrin all see the need to work with the Seanchan
- Regular citizens begin to rally for the last battle
- I think Taim is Moridin (Ishamael)
- Tuon assumes her role as Empress (may she live forever)
- Gawyn leaves Elaida's came to "save" Egwene
- Semirhage escapes with the help of Elza, who I never trusted, and captures rand with the domination band. Rand realized the True Power and wipes her out. He blames Cadsuane and banishes her
- Seanchan attack the tower
- Rand uses balefire on Grendal's camp, concerning Nynaeve enough to work with Cadsuane with the goal of resorting his soul
- There's a big timeline fuckup in this book with Tam and Rand and Perrin and Morgase
It's obvious that RJ didn't write all these chapters. Still, great, great story. Next up:
Towers of Midnight.
