Rating: Summary: Good light read Review: I enjoyed reading this book. I dont really understand why so many people did'nt like Cross Roads of Twilight. I found that to be a good read also. These books are'nt meant to be profound. Their just entertainment and pretty good at that. This book is worth reading if you have enjoyed the series or are looking for a place to start.
Rating: Summary: Good background that I appreciated. Review: Well I think that RJ has not lost his magic and that people just don't like delayed gratification. There is a lot more going on than people seem to see. The calm before the storm as it were. Anyhow this book was fine read, it was interesting to find out more background on Siuan, Moiraine, and Lan. We got to see mroe inside their heads, to understand where they are coming from which I think was somewhat lacking in those characters in the WoT. You get a better understanding of the why and how they became the way they are in present WoT.
Rating: Summary: Please stop buying this crap Review: Bad enough that he did not finish the series, but now he wants you to pay to read prequel.
Rating: Summary: Toilet Paper Review: He breathed a deep sigh, and began tugging at his long locks of hair. She placed her arms under her breasts and in unison they both yelled:"Enough already finish this damn story!" Jordan has sold out and this is nothing but a cheap attempt to get more money. When he first started this series I was there with Jordan. reading and loving every word. Then after the first three or four books, the story began to drift. The next three books were good, but not great, the last few books have been pretty damn dreadful, When I heard that Jordan was releasing a new book I thought, At last. He'll bring closure to this tale... nope he's now releasing a prequel which only half of the text is new material WTF? Never again! I will not buy another Jordan book and I am abandoning this series. Jordan will never finish it he's simply milking it for money. If you like fantasy then avoid this drivel and instead pick up the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin. A supeior tale and a superior series.
Rating: Summary: You Can Not Be Serious? Review: Like some of the previous reviewers, I have not read this book, and I will certainly not buy this book. Neither should anyone else. After the CoT fiasco (1500 reviews on Amazon - 1,450 of them negative), in part created by readers' frustration with Jordan's lack of focus, his inability to finish story lines, and the snails pace that his plot had been reduced to; it boggles my mind that he would publish a PREQUEL!!! Yea, that's just what his loyal readers have been looking for, more back story. Like I said, I haven't read it, but if you're looking for fashion tips, descriptions of trips to the grain market, or perhaps interested in developing some annoying new personal tics (like pulling braids and running fingers over scars) then by all means, buy this book. I'm sure it's a keeper.
Rating: Summary: More filler Review: RJ has lost his magic, this book continues the decline we have seen in his last few books.
Rating: Summary: Good book Review: This was a fun book to read. I'd probably give it 4 stars, but I'm trying to make up for the dorks who gave it 1 star without even reading it.
Rating: Summary: How 'bout you write an ending??!!! Review: You know I agree with a previous reviewer - we're not really reviewers - we are merely folks who used to be happy passengers on the Wheel of Time train. Now though it becomes clear that Jordan's Wheel merely refers to this money factory that this series has become. He has no intention of finishing it but will keep grinding along until he drops. Want to know why Tolkein was such a genius? Because he FINISHED HIS STORY. For crying out loud even Donaldson finished in 6 books! This guy is ridiculous, this series is now ridiculous and I am out of here. Who's with me??
Rating: Summary: It definitely is a new spring! Review: Been a die-hard Robert Jordan fan since Wheel of Time first was published. Read every one of the books at least once, some more. To all the naysayers I say this: New Spring is fantastic. I enjoyed every word.
Rating: Summary: It's a great read Review: We've come to only expect the best by RJ, and this prequel is no exception. I love all the books in this series, CoT was awesome even though some readers missunderstood it. Can't wait for the next one. A must buy
