Summary: STILL GOING
Review: EVEN THOUGH THE SERIES HAS SLOWN DOWN A BIT, THIS BOOK IS STILL A GOOD READ. A LOT OF READERS SAY IT IS SLOW AND THERE IS TOO MUCH DESCRIPTION OF SURROUNDINGS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE MANY CLASSICS THAT ARE SO BOGGED DOWN WITH SYMBOLISM AND DETAIL THAT THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH. HOWEVER, ONCE YOU READ THEM, THEY LEAVE YOU WANTING MORE (IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT, THAT IS. THE FASHION/COMIC READING AVERAGE JOE PROBABLY JUST WON'T GET IT). THIS SERIES IS DESTINED TO BE A CLASSIC. IT IS RICH AND ENTERTAINING. I DO HOPE THAT THE SERIES ENDS SOON. (HENSE ONLY 4 STARS AND NOT FIVE) LIKE ALL THINGS, IT CANNOT LAST FOREVER.

Summary: Getting worse...
Review: A Crown of Swords is a wonderful prelude to where this series is going (and has been headed for about 1,000 pages or so)...nowhere.While not as utterly boring as Path of Daggers, Crown does not do much moving, save in the later parts of the novel. The character descriptions are the same as the ones you have read before - the females are all still annoying, braids are still tugged, ears are still boxed, and on and on. Just make believe that this is the last book in a tiring, stale series and drop it.

Summary: ARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Review: At least I see that there are other readers as frustrated as I am. What started out as an epic, has become drawn out and almost painful to read. The last two books, which I bought in hard back so eager was I to continue the story, have left me feeling used. Is there an amount of books the publishers need Mr. Jordan to write? Mr. Jordan - go back to the first few books, reread them - enjoy them as much as I did and start writing properly again - let the story go on its own - stop holding it back. The series is losing fans - please restore my faith and bring me back.

Summary: GGGGGRRRRREEEEEAAAAAATTTT
Review: Finally a series of books that takes the time and does it properly. My feeling when I finished reading the Lord of the Rings was that it all finished too soon. Leaps are made, things just fall into place, characters suddenly learn what it is they're meant to do. Not so with these books. The characters are slowly coming into their own. Slowly learning their abilities and shaping their course. Brilliant. If the story is slow then it's as it should be, frustrating. It just makes it more worth while at the end of the day.

Summary: I AM COMPLETE BLOODY SICK OF THIS SERIES
Review: I have never terminated my reading of a fantasy series. Until now. What could have been one of the great masterpieces of fantasy has slowly run out of steam until it now appears that Mr Jordan is simply going through the motions for the sake of those royalty cheques. Mr Jordan go read a Guy Gavriel Kay novel and learn from a proper author. The trouble is Jordan's caught in a no-man's land. He's trying to out-do Tolkien by creating a totally believable down to the last little detail fantasy universe. But he's also trying to tell a story. YOU CAN'T DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! Tolkien didn't try to do this so why does Jordan think he can? And what is it with the females? All of Jordan's female characters are a bunch of manipulative women who spend all day trying to totally emasculate the men - in between smoothing their skirts, tugging their braids and folding their hands under their breasts!! The ideas Jordan came up with aren't terribly new. But they have been sufficiently reworked so as to be enjoyable.

Summary: Great, seems to be losing the plot though
Review: The Wheel of time series seems to be losing the plot. I love the series but not even David Eddings decided to have any more than five books in the belgariod. after finishing lord of chaos, i started on crown of swords, and found Rand no closer to Tarmon'gaidon than when he left the aiel waste in book 5. I agree character growth and elaboration plays a big part but this seems to be getting a tad repetitive!

Summary: Another great addition to the Wheel of Time series.
Review: Okay, I have one request: PLEASE stop trashing on authors of books you don't like! If you read a book and you think it's bad, then just stop reading it. The Wheel of Time is and continues to be one of the greatest series of books I've ever read. It is well written, and the characters have real depth. Though some would argue, they change, too. From one book to the next, the characters change, and struggle to hold onto what truly makes them the decent people they are. This series becomes better each time I read it, and the seventh book is as good as the previous ones. It leaves the reader aching for more, and also satisfies what the other books left unsaid. Anything less than a perfect novel from Jordan makes people want to puke. Then, they should read the rest of the Fantasy world. Of course there are great books out there, but then there's the real crap, with no characters or development. Anything less than a perfect novel from Jordan would disappoint me slightly. This one, however, is as perfect as books get, like the previous ones. Do not be put off by the bad reviews: this series is THE series to watch, and it hasn't disappointed me yet.

Summary: Jordan is a genius
Review: I have read numerous fantasy novels and Jordan is by far my favorite. His characters are colorful and fascinating. Although the plot may have slowed a bit on this one, I believe that he will make all this waiting worth it. By the way what is with the terribly long waits between books. I just about go crazy waiting for them.

Summary: the beginning of the end
Review: Indeed, this is the beginning of the end. Well, actually, no, the end began about two books ago in the series. The hope was, it would pick up again...it did not. Hey, in some ways this is the best one since the first two...because it's the shortest. But that's about the only good thing about it.

Summary: THE STORY CONTINUES- AT A SLOWER PACE.
Review: ATHOUGH IT'S TOO LONG BETWEEN BOOKS FOR THE READER, JORDAN'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT STILL RINGS TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL. IN HIS LATEST INSTALLMENT,THE STORY SLOWS,AND THE READER FINDS ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS WHICH REMAIN UNANSWERED- PERHAPS JORDAN'S WAY TO KEEP INTEREST HIGH IN WAITING FOR HIS NEXT BOOK. LET'S ANSWER SOME OLD QUESTIONS WHILE ASKING NEW ONES- YOU CAN STILL KEEP INTEREST HIGH (AND FRUSTRATION DOWN). KEEP GOING- I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT BEFORE I CAN NO LONGER READ OR THE AUTHOR CAN NO LONGER WRITE! IT WOULD BE THE FINAL "GOTCHA" TO LEAVE THIS REMARKABLE SERIES WITHOUT AN END!
