Summary: Wounderful spell binding story
Review: Venture again into Robert Jordans world of mystery and adventure. Join Rand al'Thor the dragon reborn on his quest to unite the world and defeat the omoniuos shadow cast over the land. This book was possobly his best yet, I was gripped to the very end(Which left you wanting the next book so much more).His uses of the charicters teased you with anticipation until the grand finnaly of an ending.If you are a Robert Jordan fan or just a fan of good fantasy books. This book and it's series are a must read.

Summary: Swords is slower than the other WOT books but worth the time
Review: I disagree with many reviews that state that the 7th book A Crown of Swords is dull and slow. It does not compare to the earlier Wheel of Time books but it easily kept my interest. In fact I found it very humorous in many places. I do agree that the series does need to move on. My biggest point of criticism is the battle between Rand and Sammael. There is very little detail and in fact it leaves doubt as to weather or not Sammual was destroyed. Overall however the details of the characters are nescasary to further develop the relationships between them. I will be disappointed however if the series continues with a single encounter per book between Rand and one of the Forsaken.

Summary: One of the best books ever
Review: This was an extremly good book and if you liked the rest of the series then get this book. This book was, however worse book then the previous ones.

Summary: Only good for those WoT addicts...
Review: This is one of those books in the series that, unless the reader is a complete WoT freak, will be extremely boring. It's not particularly long, compared to other WoT books, but it has taken me the longest time to read. The few interesting parts of the book would last about 20-30 pages and then it was back to what some folks call "character development" for another few hundred. "Character development" is not much needed any longer for the same players we've come to know EXTREMELY well over the previous 6 books. (Nobody who has read only this book will be drawn into the WoT series anyway, so forget the newbies, Mr. Jordan, listen to us die-hards. :) I would hate to spoil the book, but a summary of the major plot advancement would take less than a paragraph, with each character maybe doing 1 important thing. There are some characters who seem to be having a change of heart, ie Nynaeve, and there are some minor developments and resolutions, but these would only be interesting to those who remember what happened in the first 6 books. In all, I did enjoy this book, and it did have it's moments, but it's not one for folks who are not too engrossed in Mr. Jordan's world. 4 stars, mostly because I am a WoT freak!!! ;)

Review: I must say that I was dissapointed at the dull storyline of this book. I have read the other books in the series 3 time each, but the path of daggers I couldn't even get to the second to last chapter. I just hope for the sake of Robert Jordan's readers that the next one can pick up where Crown of Swords left off. It focused too much on Rand, and the 3 Aes Sadai wannabes. The only reason this book was interesting was because of the mentions of the forsaken, and the brief references to Perrin, Mat, and of course, The Aiel. Sorry Mr. Jordan, better luck next time.

Rating:
Summary: not as good as the other ones of the series.
Review: my opinion of this book was that it lacked the detail and spirit that could be found in other Wheel Of Time books.

Rating:
Summary: An extrordianary journey that captivates the imagination
Review: This book is classic Jordan. It keeps the reader clinging to the book until the very last sentence. He is in my oppinion as good and thorough as Tolkien was. The only problem is that he cannnot write the books as fast as I read them. I highly reccomend the wheel of time series to anyone that is interested in fantasy.

Summary: Another great adition to the Wheel of time series...
Review: Some people will say this book is slow. Well it is only true for the slow minded. This book is an addition to the series in a more "fill-in-the-blanks" way. It is very good that he did it because sometimes you look back on a story and it just doesn't make any sense. -A very smart adition to the series.

Rating:
Summary: Good Write /// Bad Read
Review: I will have to say that though Jordan is obviously a more than talented author, this book was a disappointment as a book in a series of great reads. It makes me want to just go straight to the end of the series and be done with it. I can only hope that the story moves again in #9. I would recommend this book only for the few paltry scraps of intrigue and information that it adds to the series. GO TO THE LIBRARY FOR THIS ONE!!

Summary: LETS GET ON WITH IT!
Review: I have enjoyed this series and, I still do. The problem is simply the flow of the story. Like most of you, I have been reading this series for years now. EVEN A STORY OF EPIC PROPORTIONS HAS TO END!! I am starting to feel like I'm watching old re-runs of Giligans Island or Lost in Space. Rand just can't seem to make it to the last battle. The sad thing is that I will finish this series because I'm hooked. Do you realize, if you have purchased all of the books so far, your into this over $70!
