Summary: Robert Jordan is the Man!
Review: I would just like to say that this book is one of the greatest that I have read, I am sorry to say that The Lord of the Rings is still the best but this is a close second. I have read all of his books and wait, while rereading the first 9, for the 10 to come out. He sets the scene, so you are there in the book with Rand, Mat and Perrin. I read alot of books each year and this is the only series that makes me keep coming back for more. These books are a must read for any person who loves JR Tolkein. Just read any of these books and you will understand. Please excuse any spelling mistakes within this review. I am an avid reader, not speller. I am a math major, I have never been good at writing. But Reading and entering a book is something that can never be replaced. This book takes me away. READ THIS BOOK AND THE 1ST 8. Live is an open book, all you need to do is find the right page.

Summary: BORINGG
Review: I feel as if Robert Jordan ran out of steam and is trying to milk as much money from this series as possible before readers catch on to his scheme. I absolutely LOVE the first five or six books now but I have lost a lot of my interest. I didn't even finish book 9. It usually would take me a day or two to finish a good book. But after three weeks, I cannot find myself reading any more of Winter's Heart. It is a little bit better than book 7 where nothing was accomplished. My attention is now drawn to the Sword of Truth series. check it out if you haven't already

Summary: from someone who reads way too much
Review: Death! Death to this entire series! It refuses to end. Ack! Well, i'm just sitting here praying that Jordan doesn't die before this series is over and done with. How many books is he writing??? Some say 13, and so in that case it will be eight long years before the last one comes out. Mabye I should just write my own ending. Something like: And all the seals were broken, and everyone died. Of course, I wouldn't kill Egwene because she is obviously the most awesome character. Rand is insane. there is no doubting it. And whatever happened to Faile? I doubt she'll get out of this charade before the thirteenth book. Doesn't it sometiimes feel as if you would like to strangle Robert Jordan until he told you what was going to happen? But then, I can always settle for the next best thing and throw his books up against the wall until they're likely to come out of their spine. The ending was good. But then, all his endings are good. I hate this. You read about a character and come to the usual cliffhanger and then he switches characters and you throw the book up against the wall because you don't want to know about THAT character, you want to know about THIS character, and alas, you can't just skip chapters and figure out what happens but then it might make more sense, but then, you spend most of your reading time flipping back and forth in books trying to figure out what he's talking about anyway. Mabye you could just accidentally see what happened... I need some sort of omnipotent glossary that tells me what I need to know. Two more years. Two long, long, long more years. What am I supposed to do until then??? reread them? NEVER!!! It emotionally drained me the first time I read the series and I will not do that to myself again. Did you know they put the eye of the world on some high school reading lists? Poor kids. I personally would have never done that.

Summary: This is a book that needs to be seen for what it is!
Review: Winter's Heart is not as terrible and boring as it is made out to be. First of all, criticising a a 600+ page book for its pace is absurd. One of Robert Jordan's main preoccupations involves creating a world as vivid, if not more so, than our own. That requires detail, and incorporating that into a complex set of plotlines is one reason the pace is less than allegro vivace. Some people revel in reiterating that the many plotlines are detrimental to the series as a whole. I like the extraneous storylines. Seriously, would you read the series if it was only about Rand and the guy in his head? Rand's storyline can be quite dark at times. The other stories serve to offset the main plot. The other characters and their plotlines have just as much depth as the main, and just as all roads lead to Tar Valon/Rome, all the subplots intertwine with the main good vs. evil struggle. I devoured the book in a week, and found that moving back and forth between plotlines made the book more enjoyable as a whole. Try to slog through Tolkien in a week, and Winter's heart will seem like a much more interesting read. In conclusion, all I have to say is, where do they keep the oosquai?!?

Summary: Wonderful! Why should he stop at book 13?
Review: Lots of people has been complaining over Jordan's tendency to never stop writing The Wheel of Time. I say, that if the next books are half as good as this one, let him write 20 or why not 40 books. These books are _GREAT_. No other fantasy author that I've read (and I've read more than a few) is as skilled as Jordan. Latly he has been adding a little bit of 'soap opera' style to the series, true, but never to much and the intrigues are always credible and make sense. Personally I think that the series has gotten even better with the last few books of plotting and intriguing. This is the best book in the series.

Summary: History repeats itself
Review: I have read the first five books of the wheel of time series twice. The ones that came after have put me to sleep. The plot gets increasingly complicated, increasingly difficult to follow and story has become boring. The only charachter/subplot I have recently enjoyed is the story of Mat. And now he no longer remains the theiving rascal who is a good guy and pretty hardcore fighter/gambler/leader. He too has found some woman to lead his life for him. Rand is turned into an invalid and Perrin is led around by the nose by Faile. At least in the first few books they railed against/ protested Morriane's control. If any of this has changed in the last 100 pages of the last book in the series I would not know because I could not go on. I have decided never to buy a book in this series ever again. It is like the disappointment I felt when I watched God father part 3 for the first time. They had taken what was probably the finest two movies ever made (Godfather Parts 1&2) and turned them into the ...that was part 3. This is very similar. I have never bothered to write a review but I really felt strongly about this waste of paper. My apologies to my friends that I ever recommended this series of books to them.

Summary: The plot's moving again (finally)...
Review: Robert Jordan has an amazing talent for spinning multiple plot threads into a fascinating and entangled saga. The earlier books in the series showed a great balance between fast moving storyline and enough detail to make the overall story a rich experience. However, the later books in the series (A Crown of Swords, The Path of Daggers) showed signs of major imbalance; there were so many plotlines that the overall story began to bog down. "Winter's Heart" finally gets the primary plot moving again, and even includes some tangible milestones towards the apocalyptic endgame of the series. I must warn you that several of the most recent books in the series has a victim of plot overload i.e. the character who makes no more than a token appearance because they've been edged out (temporarily) by all of the other subplots. While Matt Cauthon was MIA for all of "The Path of Daggers", Egwene al'Vere and Perryn Aybara are the casualties in "Winter's Heart". Don't expect to hear much from either of them in this outing. Despite these minor failings there's little doubt that Jordan still leaves 99% of his peers in the dust. Each book in the Wheel of Time series has been a pleasure to read and Winter's Heart is no exception. In fact, it was a welcome surprise after some of the slower-paced installments that preceded it.

Summary: A Warning from Perrin
Review: Hey everybody, let's just give reviews, not events that happen in the book, I have not yet read it, I am just reading the reviews to see how everyone else liked it, and I am pretty upset that I already know almost all that happens of importance. Please all, Jordan takes so long to put out a new one, some of us decide to re-read the previous ones once a new one comes out so we are fresh going into the next book. So it takes a little longer for some to get to reading it. Some think that the new one may not be that great, some do, and I appreciate hearing that, but I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! jeez. p.s. I gave it 3 stars because I havent read it yet. All that I can tell you is that many have said read it, and if you want to be suprised at what happens, don't read any more reviews.

Summary: a continuation of the series
Review: This is book number 9 in the wheel of time series. I've enjoyed this series but am beginning to wonder if the story will ever end. This book was not as good as the other books in the series and seemed to neglect some of the previous plot lines. I would have liked to see more conclusions in this book since at this point there are probably at least 2 more books left to be written. If you havn't already started the series, I do recommend the series and it is good but long. Jordan's books will eat up a lot of time and there are lots of characters and plots to keep track of but it is well worth the effort. Enjoy!
