- Book 7 was a great disappointment after the initial 6.
Like thousands of others around the world, I waited impatiently for the this installment of the Wheel of Time. The amount of time between 6 and 7 seems to me to have been extremely ridiculous, and then when it finally gets here, we all run right out and bey the hardback.($30.00 worth). I started reading with the expectation that greatness would continue (even though book 6 wasn't up to par with the first 5) Well, to the point. Within 2 chapters, I begin to feel very cheated. Mr. Jordan seemed to have rushed through the story with no forethought toward more than a shallow following of the plot. I seem to remember hearing he'd been working on other books (Conan maybe?). Well, the lack of effort and enthusiasm that I found in this book 7 nearly turned me off to the series. I am going to stick ... Read More

- O.K. Let's be Fair.
"A Crown of Swords" was not one of Jordon's best. He lacks devercity in his characters. Not all women have to be pretty. And not all men have to be spineless around women. Also he opens up so many political plots that it takes away from the story and confuses the reader. Plus he doesn't focus on his main characters, he gets to cuaght up in the lives of sub characters. However I feel many people are being unreasonably unfair to Jordan. Not all the women hate men. Hello, three women are in love with Rand, women are constantly throwing themselves at Matt, and Faile loves Perrin while the First of Mayene is chasing him. I enjoy the atention to detail in this book, but Jordan should keep in mind that constantly explaining what everything looks like is somewhat tiring to the reader.

- Interesting.
I love the Wheel of Time Series. The new books lack the fast paced action which I liked from the first few books. However, I also love all the complexity and intrigue of Jordan's recent books. This is a reason i have held off from buying the Wheel of Time campaign setting for D&D, i figure I don't need it, as just by reading these books, i would probably be able to make one of my own. Jordan is slowly bringing the story to a climax, introducing more and more threads, in preparation for Tarmon'Gaidon. This gives the world depth. Unlike other reviewers, I think that the main characters are far more interesting now than in the early books. I just wish jordan would speed it up... I mean, the series is extremely interesting, and is my all time favourite, but I can't see this series having a DECENT ... Read More
