Summary: Can you spell SLOW
Review: I'm sorry but even though I love this series TOLKIEN does better than the book that is advertised above. I have been avidly awaiting the next part and though I've bided my time I am now totally pissed! Come on RJ! Speed it up! Pick up the Pace!!!!!!!!

Summary: Simply the best of the best in fantasy
Review: As an aspiring writer I can only say that I am overwhelmed. I've read Tolkien, Eddings, Feist, Piers Anthony, and probably every other major fantasy writer, and Robert Jordan is in a class by himself. I have read The Wheel of Time at least six or seven times just waiting for A Path of Daggers to come out. In our time this series is the culmination of fantasy writing. Such imagery, plot, machinations, raw evil: not to mention the characters, who are so poignantly real that I feel I know them all. Nothing else I could say can convey the esteem in which I hold Robert Jordan.

Summary: great story but the man needs to end this...
Review: This is the book that never ends, yes, it goes on and on my friends. Jordan started writing it not knowing what is was, and he continued writing it forever just because...This is the book that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends. Jordan started it not knowing what it was and he continued writing it forever just because...If anyone has ever watched the Sheri Lewis Show with your children would know what I was talking about!

Summary: THE BEST SERIES EVER
Review: This series just seems to get better and better! Ive read each book probably 3 or more times and i still find them exciting. Robert Jordan clearly has this awesome way of describing in detail the world he created. The thing that makes Jordan far more better than Rice and Tolkien is that he doesnt spend pages upon pages describing something you couldnt care less about. And the characters dont go about calling people from the same gender "dear" like in the Lord of The Rings.

Summary: Excellent opening for a path of daggers.
Review: I have finally seen a pattern to Robert Jordans writing, after he writes a few brilliant books, he has to write a crap one. I mean 700 pages and the plot goes forward two weeks. But the opening at the end is brilliant. C'mon Jordan go for gold in book 8.

Summary: " ROBERT JORDAN, the KING OF FANTASY"
Review: Robert Jordan, what can I say about Robert Jordan? Quite simply, he is the BEST fantasy author in the world to date. Jordan took over from where David Eddings left off, in creating an epic fantasy series set in a real and authentic world. Reading his books transports you into his world and you establish a link with it. You come to care for the characters and their plights, to relate to them and their wants, needs and aspirations. This is not your run-of-the-mill sword and sorcery, it has heart and depth. If you ask me I am tired of the same atypical books on the market today. A teacher of mine told me she doesn't like Robert Jordan because he is too deep. Too Deep! I love Robert Jordan because of the depth of his books and I am sure alot of other people do to. Write on RJ until they nail shut your coffin!!!!

Summary: Could have been better
Review: I have been a huge WOT fam for a long time, but I feel that this book did not live up to the standards that his other books have set. With the eigth book coming out soon (we hope)I have decided that I should reread the series, and have just finished all 7. The last few books have been slowly slipping, and this last one was a rush job. I only hope that this book we have been waiting for for over 2 years will be back to his origianal standards that made me stick with this series for a long time.

Summary: Molasses moves faster
Review: I have enjoyed reading the series so far, but the last 3 books have moved so slow it is hard to keep up interest. Details of people and places are repeated so many times I find myself skimming over paragraphs. Character behavior also is frequently inconsistent, with people learning lessons but not responding to similar situations based on the lessons learned. Examples are beyond this simple review, but Nynaeve, Egween, and Mat are the biggest dissappointments. I would like to see more consistency in actions and more realistic human reaction.

Summary: Patience People!
Review: I have read this book and have found it as entertaining as all of the rest. Granted, some of the previous works have been faster paced and more revealing in character and plot development, but look at the scale of what is being written. In the seven books to date, what has been the actual elapsed time? Four, maybe five years? In that time, we not only had to learn the various cultural differences between each "kingdom" (or "Queendom" in some instances) let alone of the planet (And what planet is this anyway? Maybe Earth in the far distant future like Stephen King's Dark Tower Series?), but two different cultures, past and present (Not only of the Forsaken (or the Chosen depending on whose side your on), but the Seanchan, who have a decidedly ancient view of things.). The characters have to be developed very thoroughly so that some appreciation of motive and action can be understood. I personally think that Jordan can not possibly resolve all of the outstanding plots in under fifteen volumes. Hopefully I will be proven correct.

Summary: A BOOK FOR TRUE FANTASY LOVERS
Review: I started reading this series just a little over two years agos. I was captivated by Jordon's style of writing and his ablitly to build characters. These books have never let me down. I have been waiting for his next release for over a year now. I read the first 7 books in about 2 months. It wasn't that I didn't have a life, it was because the series is just that good. If you enjoy reading fantasy than you must read the Wheel Of Time saga. You will not be dissapointed.
