Summary: Although a little slow at times it is still great
Review: I have been reading fantsy novels for about 12 years and believe me Robert Jordan's series is by far the best. I have read David Eddings series' and I have found that his novels come barely within reach of the greatness that Jordan's books do. Jordan's writing style is superb and although slow sometimes still was able to keep me engrossed for hours. Once I picked these books up there was nothing to make me put them down. I ate my meals while reading them. I finished up to #6 in two weeks (not continually reading of course) For those people out there that believe that he should get on with need to stop and give their heads a good long shake. If you don't like the way that he writes or how the novel is going then take my advice and don't read it. In Fantasy there is no novel that comes close to meeting Jordan's standards. I have been looking forward to his next book for close to two years. I have had to read other series and novels to fill the space but have gone back and read his work every few months and it still keeps me on the edge of my seat. All that I can say I guess is that his work is great and there is no need for the verbal abuse that people are throwing at him. If you don't like it don't read it.

Summary: Amazing book and series (Deserves a rating of 11 actually)
Review: This is simply an amazing book. There are those that complain about it being boring and non focused but that's not true. Think about it this way : The whole series is expected to be at LEAST 13 books long. The plot can be summerized as this, characters set out on adventure/quest (to defeat the "bad guy", the Dark One) , they get ready and there is a final battle. Right now some readers seem to feel that the book has no focus. That is because the character are getting ready for the last battle now. The characters themselves are trying to unify the world.
Let there be no doubt that Robert Jordan has created the best fantasy series ever (O.K. , then there's Tolkein).

Summary: Why can't you admit the truth.....
Review: I'm sure that by now someone writting a reviews that will say it's the best book so far and that i'm a loser and blah blah blah...well you no what..i don't care...if you want to say it's the best book in the world..well say it...but don't try to undermine our opinion... I've been reading fantasy now for 14 years and i can't remember how many books i've read...that doesn'T make me the god of the review but let just say that i have a background that help.... Now for the reviews...well it's long...too long...way too long..if you look at the series you will see that it's getting harder and harder to make yourself finish the book...i had to start again 2 times with the fifth...three times with number 6 and i don't know how many times with the last...but i can assure you..i've talk to my fellows reader and everyone agree with me...we know Rand getting mad...(for a long times now)...so let's stop talking about it..get mad and be done!!!I don't care now if he lose the final batlle..at least it will be a surprise... So that's it..if you want to buy it..go ahead but let me tell you first...the first quarter of the books is good that after that be ready to croos a long desert where there his no action (you know the i-cannnot-stop-reading-just-one-more-page..)..if you pack lot's of water and make it to the last quarter...you will be pleased..it's filled with action....hope the number 8 will be the last..even tolkien knew when to stop....

Summary: Jordan stalls while deciding where to take this epic next.
Review: This book goes nowhere, slowly. Am I the only one who, after reading "A Crown of Swords", got the distinct impression that Jordan has NO idea where he is going with the series? I hope I an proven wrong, but it looks to me as if Jordan has no clue as to how he is going to resolve the series, and wrote this latest offering as a stop-gap measure, designed to buy himself some time. I may be wrong, but given that "A Crown of Swords" came out in 1996, and it is now 1998, I think it is not too far a strech to think that Jordan just CAN'T DECIDE where he wants to take us. Not having a wide enough imagination can be DEATH for a professional fiction writer, but oftentimes having TOO great of an imagination has it's own pitfalls. I, for one, hope that Robert Jordan's next offering will be akin to the first four books of the series, and offer a feeling of destination to the reader; "A Crown of Swords" just has too much of a "busy work" feel for my liking.

Summary: Seriously Folks
Review: Lighten Up. I too am dismayed that the first review of this book listed below was January 13th 1997 and now on January 14th 1998, more than one year later, the next installment is no where in sight. But we all knew this was going to happen before we picked up the first book didn't we? Well you should have. Althougth its a long wait, it's worth it when you first get the new book into your hands isn't it? So stop complaining and fill those non-Wheel of Time moments with something from the many other great authors available these days.

Summary: WHAT IS ROBERT JORDAN'S PROBLEM?!?
Review: After having read the past 6 books just like any other Jordan fan I rushed to buy the seventh book even though it was still in hard book form when I bought it. Hey, I thought, atleast I can finally find out some more of the storyline. Well apparently plot wasn't a priority in A Crown of Swords and neither was following up on the loose ends left over from the last novel. This book seemed to be more focused on pointless descriptions that have literally no place in this book and the more and more frequent sexual escepades. The story has sunk down to some awful soap opera, that like soap operas never seems to end. Well atleast the soaps have some intresting turns, but this book goes absolutely nowhere except for the last few pages where Rand just up and fights a Forsaken. Is Rand ever going to fight the Final Battle or is Jordan going to kick the bucket first? Seriously if you want a really big disappointment then don't hesitate to buy this book.

Summary: Captivating Entrigue with the true One Power (Magic)
Review: This is the best so far from Robert Jordan in the ongoing saga of the Wheel of Time. This story further traps you in the world of Rand Al'Thors battle against the ultimate Evil and how his friends are dragged into this Evil with him. Will he be able to Overcome his impending Madness.

Summary: Plot that goes no where
Review: I used to love this series. I loved the length and the depth of the characters. I am not complaing about how long the books are or that the story will go on for a long time. I am complaining becuase this book could be removed from the series and I don't think anyone would miss it. This is not Jordan's usual work. In previous books he seemed to dwell too long on some details but the story moved. My plan is to wait for book 8 to come out and then give it to my brother who just started the series without ever giving him Crwon of Swords. I am willing to bet with anyone that he won't even notice that it is missing.

Summary: a superb epic
Review: For those of you that complain about the books being to long you have obviously lost all your attention span by sitting on your couch watching T.V. For those of you that have grade 10+ reading level I strongly recommend this. You will be counting the days until spring when the 8th book (A Path Of Daggers)comes out. The characters are interesting detailed and for a change not all things end happily.

Summary: women are annoying
Review: Iwould like to say that first of all I am a rather strong woman who considers herself a feminist. If anyone would like Robert Jordan's attempts at creating intelligent, tough women it would be me. Unfortunately, I find his female characters annoying. Women are much more complicated and we don't always gang up against men. I find all the women rather nasty bitches who are constantly engaged in other people's bussiness. Also, if these girls are really country girls they wouldn't be so hung up on sex. My family, until this generatioin, all worked on farms, or owned their own farms. I know from my grandmother and her sisters stories that most people of her era where surprisingly down to earth and realistic about sex. Maybe, probably not likely, Robert Jordan will add some varity to these women in the next book, and make them a little less narrow minded and judgemental.
