Summary: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!
Review: Please stop with the 2 page descriptions of a womans dress or the type of food the character eats!I am sick of the characters because they are showing no growth through all of the tragedy and experiences they have. The only 2 characters that have really developed since book3 are Rand and Matt.
Jordan wastes your reading time with pages of descriptions and very little story or character dialouge Sometimes I can't tell the difference between any of the women characters because they all say and think the same thing!!
Whats with every male character acting meek around women? Why is there no difference in thought and attitude between Seanchan,Aes Sedai, Two Rivers and Aiel woman? Where is the variety of character development? There is way too much repetition of characters thoughts and actions. How many times do we have to be reminded that Nynave has a temper and all men are wool headed and Elayne acts like a princess,Rand wants to protect women and Perrin hates his axe. . .blah. . blah. . .blah. Do what I do wait a year, buy all of the books used, skim through the pages of repetitive descriptions and finish the sbooks in no time.

Summary: Dragging on
Review: The operative word for this book, along with the previous few and apparently the next one is... FINALLY. As in: when is Egwene FINALLY going to get to the White Tower to (hopefully) consolidate her power? And FINALLY Elayne lays claim to the throne of Andor, only to be beseiged by multiple plots and problems. Does any main character in this epic ever just DO anything? Obviously NOT, everything is extremely complicated with gobs of details, most of which should have been left out to move the plot along. Jordan should learn from the movie makers who have taken this art to new highs (or lows: DUNE, 2 hours, come on now). Thankfully, Jordon does include one significant event at the end of the book. That being, of course the cleansing of Saidin. I've got a great idea, in the future we can take the significant parts from books 6-10 and combine them into one smaller book. It will make Jordon look like the literary genius he was supposed to be after he wrote the first few of this series.

Summary: A highlight of the series!
Review: This is definately one of my favorite WOT books. Hands down. I long ago accepted Robert Jordan's length and overused phrases. Alot of loose ends are tied up. I hope you will enjoy the book too.

Summary: Obsession with a capitol "O"
Review: I have reread the series from the start everytime I am waiting for the next. RJ has such a cute since of humor that he springs on you when you are not expecting it. He has such a way of letting you see his own little world. He reels you in and you are there doing what the characters are doing. This series captured me now I have started to collect it on CD. That way I can listen and get work done around the house. I have read other books and "yes" they have a shorter life span, but then what, you have to start all over again with new characters. I love the fact that I know each character so well. When the next book starts I jump right in like it never stopped. I highly recommend this series for any who love the continued, non stop story lines.

Summary: A great Winter's read
Review: Robert Jordan's ninth instalment of the Wheel of Time series is a delight to read. Having taken the decision to not read this until the Crossroads of Twilight came out to provide immediate continuity I was instantly reminded (after such a long time away from the books) of the easy familiarity that Jordan provides. Whilst some epic fantasy authors suffer from a sense of vagueness about people and events after the long periods between instalments, not so Jordan.
And so, we find ourselves, in the Winter's Heart, opening with the first ta'varen, Perrin, as he slogs through the snow on his mission to bring the fanatical Masema to Rand and is subsequently diverted south to chase the Shaido sept who have kidnapped Faile, making her gai'shan. We then race across to Caemlyn where Elayne has entered the city as the Daughter-Heir laying her claim to the throne of Andor (backed by Rand) but finding her position precarious and having to survive assassination attempts. In the process Rand turns up and bonds with both her, Min and Aviendha whilst Nynaeve looks on. What Rand has come to do is take Nynaeve and two ter'angreal in order to use the greatest sa-angreal made for both men and women in his attempt to cleanse Saidin of the Dark Lord's taint.
We visit the ageless Cadsuane before the two main themes of the ninth installment take over. We are introduced to the child-like Seanchan, Tuon, Daughter of the Nine Moons, who arrives in the captured city of Ebou'Dar where Mat is residing under the silken bedchamber chains of Queen Tylin, whilst trying to avoid the gholam who is trying to kill him. Mat spends much of his time plotting to escape Tylin and worrying about the dice that keep rolling when ever he sees Tuon. Eventually, he manages to orchestrate an escape taking with him two Aes Sedai damane and sul-damane amongst others. Meanwhile across the world in Far Madding where the source is untouchable, Rand finds himself hunting down renegade Ashamen before both he and Lan end up barely escaping after encountering Padan Fain. After Cadsuane arrives in the city to assist him the group Travel to Shadar Logoth where he and Nynaeve link to the two sa-angreal to cleanse Saidin of the Dark Lord's taint. Inevitably the epic nature of the magic unleashed draws the Forsaken who end up in private battles with the Cadsuane led Aes Sedai who are protecting Rand but, by the very end as he lies unconscious the awe-struck Ashamen with them realise the taint is gone.
Threaded throughout are the politics and subserviency-based matriarchal society with its WinderFinders, Aes Sedai, Wise Women, Kin et al who struggle to retain ascendancy in a World turned upside down by the Dragon Reborn. Most of the recent books in the series are given over to lengthy social dictates and the sundering of those dictates as an equality is sought and armies converge. Another enthralling episode by Jordan.
What places Jordan amongst the upper tier of fantasy writers (though none of them have the ability, so far, to alter the very nature of their prose style through a book as Tolkien did) is that many fantasy readers put down the final instalment of any great series wishing it never ended.
It looks like Jordan's finally giving the genre's fans precisely that and whilst everyone wants to race towards the climatic denouement you realise that by delaying it, Jordan is keeping the magic of the Wheel of time alive.

Summary: I'd like to thank you all
Review: ...who wrote those 1 and 2 star reviews. I never read Winter's Heart or Crossroads of Twilight. I read half of Path of Daggers and gave up. Two months later, I decided to finish the other half. It started with boredom and ended with even more boredom. So then I decided to bail out on this series. After a while, I began to wonder about the next two books. I never read reviews for ANY fantasy book before reading it. But this time, just to make sure, I read some. Winter's Heart seemed promising. But I didn't care because I looked at the reviews for Crossroads of twilight (after 1600 reviews it has a 1 and a half star rating). Well, I didn't expect more. I have never thought that books could be THIS bad. I remember I read the 1st book and it was pretty good (not the best opening novel, though). Thankfully, I never spent a single penny on this series. I borrowed every book from the library. When I couldn't find the 2nd book anywhere, I thought that I should forget this series, because even the 1st book had problems. Most people bailed out on 8 or 9; I almost gave up at 2. But no, I kept going, and now I regret it. From book two to eight it just got worse and worse. All the things like the Horn of Valere (I just barely rembered that one), the heron mark blade (this one too), the Eye of the World, etc. are completely disregarded. Even though I didn't waste any money on the books, I wasted a lot of time on it. For those of you who want to give up, feel free to do so. I've read Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. Now there's something worth reading. Its the easiest way to get out of this wreck of a series. And I read that series BEFORE I read Wheel of time.

Summary: Time to move on....
Review: I think the first three or so were pretty good. I got sucked in and kept reading, waiting, hoping for some closure. There does not appear to be any in sight. I've even forgotten some of the connections between characters. I discovered that I really don't care what happens to Rand anymore. I feel like the storyline is slowly grinding to a halt. I can't sit around and wait for "The Wheel of Time" Book XXVII, "Sleep falls". But there is hope! I was recommended the "Sword of Truth" novels by Terry Goodkind. Almost through the first one and it's awesome. Much faster pace and more action overall.
