Summary: Winter's Heart (the wheel of time, book 9)
Review: In truth it is the writer who has lost his heart. The plot drags on and on. Even the new civilizations Jordan is trying to create for Matt falls so short of the Aiel that its embaressing. In the first four books the readers could feel the characters, know their strengths and failings, see how they grow from boys to men and girls to women. In this book, not even Elayne getting laid did much to help the story along. She's become such an incidental character her story doesnt really matter and Jordan is so lost with all the other characters he has invented for the sake of plot, that if you never read this book, you wouldnt miss much from the series. Id wait until paperback comes out if you consider buying it. Where has the thrill of reading this story gone?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: In General
Review: RJ started as an exceptional Author, the, last two books slowing to a crawl, and then this book. Winter's Heart was a decent book and many have said it does move SOME major plots along the way. Unfortunately I have come to see something in all of the books that I have read in this series that I just don't like, that being the LACK of accents. RJ spends s much ogf his time writing "In a seanchean drawl..." that you want to imagine what precisely what it would sound like. The closest tat he gets is the arrangement of words that Bayle Domon use's in his smal bit, like parts Throughout the different stories. After referring to an accent, he, then continues to write in standard englis. I feel that he needs to start showing how they would speak, such as the Redwall series by Brian Jaques (I know they look like kids stories, but, he hits on those little things like ACCENTS)

Other than that the book proceeded Much better tan thatof the last two. The story seems to lag at times with the Miraculous things that peopleare starting to learn, and, who would've gussed and end to an Age, or did the rest of the people reviewing miss that part?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This series Just gets worst
Review: This is the worst book in the Wheel Of Time series. Like the last three books nothing much happens. Not worth the time to read .

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Winter's Heart is boring
Review: I have to preface this review with the information that I ordered Winter's Heart and a Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin at the same time and read the Storm of Swords first. Storm of Swords was a great read and Winter's Heart just couldn't compare to it. So I may be more critical than I would have been if I had just read Winter's Heart.

Winter's Heart is boring. Well at least, large sections of it are. The first six hundred pages could have been edited down to two hundred pages without losing one bit of important information. The last fity pages could have been expanded to two hundred pages with the timeline advancing a bit more and this book could have been a good, maybe even great book. As it is, I'm just hanging on to this series by my fingertips. The next one in the series is not on my "have to have" list.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another good installment of a great series...
Review: It may be that this series is only for the really hardcore fan, but happily I am one of those rare few who started reading this series ten years ago and still wait nervously for each new book.

If you don't have a lot of time or read very slowly this series isn't for you, but if you enjoy long sweeping world shattering epics "The Wheel of Time" has few equals when taken as a whole.

And if you cant handle a rather lengthy wait for the next book I suggest you wait untill the series is completed before you start reading it as most of the major complaints seem to be over how long it people have invested themseves in this series without getting the payoff.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 10 years...Will Jordan live to finish the series
Review: The Wheel of Time started off as one of the best series i'd ever read. The last three including this one have been really poor. And I'm a fan. Jordan's really struggling now but seeing as i've given it 10 years I'll hang about for the last two or three. Tell you what even with Mat coming back in this one its still poor. The next book cannot get any worse!! Maybe Jordan needs to read one of the Malazan Books of The Fallen for a bit of inspiration.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The Wheel of Time Is Going Flat
Review: After eight books, you would think that Jordan's Wheel of Time series, with its cast of thousands, would have no need to introduce more. I remember a time when I was thrilled to follow along with our five travelers from Emond's Field - I was able to meet them as people and participate in their adventures. Now, it seems that most of their adventures are happening offstage while Jordan reports the minutiae of everyday circumstance resulting from their adventures. Yes, we actually have three new BIG EVENTS which occur while we crawl through 656 pages, but in the meantime, I'm feeling like I'm wading through the Starr Commission report. Jordan has created a world of rich detail -geography, culture, politics, history - but he's allowed the details to overshadow the true strength of this series - the characters. I'm at the point where I am wishing for the occurrence of Tarmon Gai'don simply for the fact that it should kill off a bunch of the supporting cast who have been spending too much time in the series' spotlight.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Yet!
Review: Things are a happenin' in Randland. Many, many things talked about in earlier books come to fruition in this very exciting entry into Robert Jordan's series.

From Mat to Cadsuane, characters are fleshed out even more and we learn just where their place in the whole scheme of things is.And let me tell you, the ending is comparable to Lord of Chaos. I wish this series would go on for twenty volumes!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Love the details, but this has got to move forward!
Review: I have shared the Jordan series with new readers for years and I love the complexity, but the story is not moving forward enough even within these THICK books. Nice to touch upon Mat and Perrin, but so... What of the White Tower and Egwene? I will be sad when the series is completed, but I hope it is within my lifetime!

Rating: 5 stars
