Summary: This book is very disappointing
Review: I was born and bred on heroic fantasy. I love the genre, and have thoroughly enjoyed Robert Jordon's work. I was introduced to Robert Jordon through his Conan stories, which are terrific. In 1994, I became aware of WOT, and digested the first 4 books as fast as I could. What a wonderful story this was. Book five began to drag just a little, but I eagerly awaited book 6, knowing that the story would surely pick up. Book 6 was slow, book 7 was bad, and I can't finish book 8. I am more than disappointed in the series now, I am a little sad. I feel that Mr. Jordon has lost his vision, and I cannot continue with him into the depths. I expect book 8 will remain unfinished; I can't bring myself to pick it back up. For those of you who might be discouraged from reading Jordon after reading the ever-increasing bad reviews of books 7 and 8, don't be. WOT is remarkable, but I suggest you stop with book 3. So long Mr. Jordon. I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Summary: .....And the series goes on.....
Review: With all due respect, Robert Jordan did not bite the big one with this book. Although it was not his best book, it is certainly not his last. Yes PoD is not his best he cannot leaves millions at home waiting for the next book and then tell them he gave up the story. On the contrary I think that this book was his savior. If anyone hadn't noticed the series was getting VERY slow and if he didn't pick up the pace of the storyline he was going to drown in his own success when his angry followers lynch him for terrible writing. PoD is a lot faster than the other novels. I was finished with it in less than a day. The story couldn't have done better at clearing up some of the loose ends in the storyline. Like what really happened to the White Tower's forces sent against the Black Tower. It also sets up the borderlands in ther series as it appears that all of them have formed a pact to find out what Al'Thor has been doing south of them. Like all the other WoT novels it is filled with a good amount of action. This time the main advisary in the novel is the seanchan who now control Tarabon, Amadicia, and part of Altara. The battles in the books are iin pieces jumping in and out of constant fighting. Jordan makes up for this with extensive history on the seanchan as well as a healthy dose of enemy chatter with gives the reader an omnipotent felling as he watches both sides quarrel and hear the story from both sides. But its still not his best. If you like WoT you should at least pick it up and continue the story, it actually looks like Jordan will finish the story in under 15 books

Summary: Is there any possible way that rj can reach the end of this?
Review: all i have to say is that there are around 150 to 200 posts before the book came out giving it a 5 star rating then there are some 850 to 900 posts afterward giving it a 1 star rating. do the math this series will never end eventually robert jordan is going to have to admit that he has rambled into something he cannot possibly end in good grace.

Summary: By leagues, this is Jordan's worst book.
Review: I love the Wheel of Time Series, but I detest this book. My primary complaint is the sluggishness of the narratives involving Elaine et al. and for that matter, nearly all of the female characters in this book. I don't care about them anymore. I think everyone knew that Elaine, Nynaeve and Egwene didn't understand men and Rand, Perrin etc. didn't understand women by the end of the fifth book. Mr. Jordan please get back to the story.

Summary: Call me when it is over.
Review: I started the WoT series in December of 1998 - a friend told me Book 8 was the last (NOT TRUE). Jordan does a good job creating and telling a good story. As I finished one, I wanted to read another. However, I was extremely disappointed to find that PoD is not the last book in the series - I hate that. I refuse to be held hostage by the next book coming out. Unfortunately for Mr. Jordan and the publishers, I will not revisit the series until it is complete. Now about PoD. While continuing the story at Jordan's pace (a little slow for me), it was not as well written as the other books. To me it seems like Jordan has lost interest or his mind wandered. Normally I would not complain and would be able to overlook a "mediocore" book in the middle of a series. But in this case, the series does not interest me enough to "gush" over an incomplete story. Call me when it is over - then I will pick up book nine.

Summary: utterly worthless
Review: slow, boring, pointless, which is exactly what the series is becoming. i dont understand how anyone could give this book five stars, unless you've been brainwashed by mr. jordan

Summary: waste of time
Review: i'm not going to repeat what all the other intelligent people who gave this book 1 star said. ill just agree with them.

Summary: this should be the last review
Review: 1) I am apalled that anyone gave this more than one star. If your idea of good fantasy is a soap-opera that you can tune into every few months and not miss anything,then this is the series for you.I could have skipped the last two books and not missed anything important.No matter how and when this series ends it has been irrevocably tarnished by the last 2 perhaps 3 books. A note to Amazon you should revise your review system so that zero can be factored in, if this were done then this book would score its true rating of less than 2stars dancer93@megsinet.net

Summary: I thought that this book was poorly done.
Review: I thought this book was a real big let down. It seemed Robert Jordan tried to throw a book out at the readers. This coming from what I thought is one of the great fantasy writers of the times. I just hope that his next book is better.
Rating:
Summary: useless boring story
Review: I found that in his eighth book, Jordan was totally losing his storyline with useless chatter and very, very boring long segments that add nothing to the plot.
