Rating: Summary: Another great story Review: Insanity beckons! Jordan continues to provide more things to question than answers. I bought the first book of this series because I expected six books to be a complete series. When I finished book six, I nearly went nuts during the 3 months I waited for this one.
A Crown Of Swords did give me some of the things I craved, but, now while I wait for the next one, nothing short of actually waking up one morning IN the Aes Sedai camp, or in Tear, or with Perrin's group is going to be enough.
This book is, as usual, well written, with a gripping self-contained plot, which moves the series forward, and leaves the reader hungry for the next book.
If you're out there Mr. Jordan, hurry up the next one! Please...
Rating: Summary: Quite possibly one of the greatest works of American Fiction Review: This was an incredible book! After buying it, I had insomnia
because I couldn't go to sleep until I finished it. Even better than the previous six, the latest installment in the
Wheel of Time Introduces new plot elements and wraps up some
of the old. It was worth the long wait, but read it slowly,
because the next one will be a while!
Rating: Summary: Nobody can wrap a reader into a story-line like R.J. Review: R.J. will someday be known for his abilty to weave colorfully complex characters into a epic story like The Wheel of Time Cycles.R.J.has all they weaving skills of Tolkien, but the differance is like comparing the moon to the stars,one of them just shines brighter.(If you have'nt read "The Dark One's Dictionary" on the web,read it now.)
Rating: Summary: Can't wait - what's at the far end of this "bridge" book? Review: The seventh book of the Eye of the World series is an excellent "bridge" book in that it gets us from one action book to (hopefully) another, keeping us hungry for the next taste while letting us savor the characters, allowing their characters to develop, giving us a fuller dimension to each of them. While this book does less than satisfy our hunger for the story, it does keep the feeling alive, and us hoping for the next book. Be advised, though, Mr. Jordan - more than one such book in an entire series can lead to a possible drop in the conviction that you are among the ablest, and delightful, writers in your genre. A little more action and a faster pace in the remaining book(s) please. Relentless monsters, aren't we
Rating: Summary: This is a must-read for Jordan fans Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and re-acquainting my-
self with the Wheel of Time characters. The plot was well-written
and kept moving. It was well worth the wait of an additional six months, although I certainly hope that the same doesn't occur
with the next volume in this interesting series
Rating: Summary: Another Great Book! Review: Just when you thought that he would wrap it all up, Robert Jordan does it again! He is going to make us wait for the next book in the series. I liked book 7. It weaves yet another adventure into the overall quest without any seams. I can't wait for 8
Rating: Summary: Still a good read Review: I'll say in all honesty that I did not enjoy this book as
much as the previous ones in this series. While a lot of
important things happened, this book simply doesn't have
the same impetus as previous installments. I don't think
that Jordan is necessarily running out of steam - he looks
to have a very good idea of where he's going with this
series. But even the best stories must draw to a close, and
while I've enjoyed this series immensely, I do look forward
to the conclusion.
Rating: Summary: What??? You can't rate it over 10?? What about 100?! Review: I'm sure it's already been said in these reveiws, but to voice my opinion... I LOOOOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!! It was TOO SHORT, as many people said, but it was great! The best! I loved it! And it was hilarious! (Every good fantasy writer needs a good humor.) It's a great book in a great series, and if there weren't so many of them, I would say this of all the books- they are well worth any wait, and you have got to read them! The books themselves seem to have personalities. Loved them! The best!
I only have one question to Mr. Jordan, and that is: what's the translation for "Sister to Battles" in the Old Tounge? I'm sure Birgitte would like to know...
Rating: Summary: Awesome. Review: I don't know why people say this book is not as good as the other books in this wonderful series.After having quite a time finding it (located where I am), I must say that it was well worth it.This book introduces many new questions, some new characters and is in general a superb sequel to Lord of Chaos. Of course the book is too short - even if it was 1500 pages it would've been to short. You simply can't stop reading until you reach the end. This book also has some hilarious parts - if you know the storyline well you can't help but crack up. I think this book is great, a must read, as is the entire series. Also check out rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan and the Wheel of Time FAQ. The newsgroup and the FAQ add -alot-. You won't believe how many small things that fit together so beautifully you missed, even if you read the entire series many times. The group might give you new ideas. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Rating: Summary: A MUST READ SERIES Review: Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series is by far the most
engrossing, complex, thought provoking saga that I have
read to date. "Crown of Swords" follows in that tradition of captivating the reader through it's ever tangling web of a
plot. I was a little disappointed in the rehashing of events
from book 6, even though they were from other viewpoints.
The first few chapters would have fit better in book 6, leaving
book 7 more room to delve into the 'stasis box' full of new
characters. I generally re-read all of the series each time a
new one comes out, but as I finished the last page of "Crown of Swords", I began counting the days until the next
episode arrives
