Summary: Clearly the best!
Review: LoC is clearly the best book thus far in Robert Jordan's epic, awesome series. The battle at Dumai's Well is one of the most vivid and wrenching battle scenes ever put down in a fantasy novel. The chapter ranks right up there with Tolkein's "The Battle of Five Armies" in the Hobbit and with Stephen R. Donaldson's "Lord Mhoram's Victory" located in the Thomas Covenant series. The latter books from Jordan have shown a dropoff in quality, I believe that the series peaked with LoC. But what a peak it was! This is not to say that the other books in the series aren't excellent, they are, but LoC is the best.

Summary: Historias adyacentes
Review: Despues de los problemas que hemos soportado en España para poder leer la serie, ver como un autor frena el relato para contar lo que sucede alrededor del heroe consigue que sigas pendiente no sólo de la historia central sino que siempre esperas noticias de los demás

Summary: what's with the lame romance covers?
Review: i really enjoyed this book except for one thing. those weak, soppy, romance covers have got to go. i envision rand and mat and perrin to look somewhat dark and intruiging, and instead the cover portrays a 'i can't believe it's not butter', hair flowing in the wind, shirt half buttoned to reveal hairy chest, day time soap opera star. i would prefer a plain black cover over these cheesy illustrations. (also, what's up with the cover on the great hunt? are those creatures sneaking up on loial and the others supposed to be trollocs? did the artist even read the book? these are supposed to be scary creatures, not some humans clad in armor. wack.)overall, the series is great. i've been buying the hardback versions of the books and i end up throwing the book jackets away because i hate to begin a story with a disapointing illustration.

Summary: This is one good book!
Review: This book is absolutely great! I have been reading Wheel of Time for some time now and loved each and every book, but this one has to be the best. This book officially declares that Robert Jordan is not like J.R.R Tolkien. The characters are great especially Mat. You can feel the tension as Tarmon'Gaidon draws near. I admit that getting started was a chore, because Fires of Heaven was slow, but after page 300 i could not stop. It has the best ending off all the Wheel of Time Books except maybe Path of Daggers. I have read many Fantasy series and the Wheel of Time series is a classic, and after Book 9 comes out everybody will be reading it.

Summary: He's getting long-winded, but it's good stuff!
Review: I love the series Wheel of Time. Let's just say my grades are falling apart, and I don't care cuz I'm hooked.I think book six is a good example of Jordan's style of writing: he tends to get long-winded and add too much detail where it isn't needed. Also, he builds the reader's interest towards a particular end - then abruptly takes a left turn at the end of the book - i.e. Rand is planning to attack Illian (finally), but instead ends up in an Aes Sedai chest with daily beatings and on his way to the Amyrlin. This isn't that unusual, and I guess I'm getting used to it. However, overall this book is excellent! We're thrown deeper into the 'Rand is going crazy' plot, the Aes Sedai close a noose about Rand's neck, Mat spends his time just being annoying as usual (and I love it), and Perrin's relationship with Rand becomes even more muddled. The conclusion seems appropriate to the characters involved, and very exciting. Still left with some questions? I think Jordan's subplots might actually lead somewhere, but we have yet to find out just where he is going. Until we do, I'm as tied to his books as surely as Mat is tied to the Horn of Valere!

Summary: Here's the deal...
Review: These are not great books. The Wheel of Time is not art or literature. What it is is a great adventure. If you like magic, battles, loads of detail, etc. you will enjoy this series. I don't love The Wheel of Time or hate it, but I have invested a lot of time into it so far, and I am going to continue reading it until it is over. Please stop comparing Jordan to Tolkein. Its not even close. Tolkein had a story with a beginning and end in mind. Robert Jordan just keeps adding layer upon layer onto this series to keep the franchise going. Be honest. Has this series ever won a major Fiction award? Do critics ever include these books in best of lists? These books are the male equivalent of Romance novels. Trashy fun.

Review: A great book. Very addictive so beware

Summary: Arbitrary plot machinations destroy story integrity.
Review: Why does Faile suddenly become jealous of Perrin? Why does Rand suddenly decide that two Aeil bodygaurds are enough? Why is Matt suddenly on his way to Ebou Dar, after endless meandering on the way to Illian? That last is a good example of the poor plotting that is destroying this once fine series. Matt is plagued with the memories of a hundred past lives as a general. He is a military genius. Will this pay fruition? No. Instead, he gets to be a member of the small party of dumb characters looking for a bowl. How many pages did we have to read to set up his arrival to face Sammael in Illian, before we are suddenly jerked with Matt to Ebou Dar? Rand removes his bodygaurds so that the Aes Sedai from Tar Valon can easily kidnapp him without being immediately noticed. Faile becomes jealous of Perrin to enable a faux drama between the two in later books. These are not plotted changes, they are blunt and shocking intrusions onto a storyline that was once coherent. I do not mind the length of these books, or the braid pulling and the clothes fetishism of the author. I do mind the endless scheming by women, as if nobody has ever conceived of a simple marriage of trust. None of these people in this book are in the end worth attention. Why care of Rand wins? Rand is a weenie. Why care if Lan gets his girl -- she is a termagant and they have no decent chance of a relationship. If you write long enough you expose your true self as a person to the reader. It has taken thousands of papges, but RObert Jordan is exposed as a boring little man who has no idea what a real relationship is, and who writes stories that clog one's throat with the dry dust of his aimless and rambling mind. Put the book down and go to bed! AN EDITOR! AN EDITOR! THESE BOOKS NEED AN EDITOR? THEY NEED A STINKINBG ROOM FULL OF EDITORS!

Summary: Give this a try
Review: Two things keep popping up in every negative review of any of the books in this series. One, everyone seems to think the books are too long, and for seemingly no purpose. Of course, Tolstoy makes Jordan look like a captionist for the New York Times, so remember, it could be worse. Two, everyone hates Jordan's women, especially Nynaeve. I can sympathize. So why not skip the female-bonding chapters? I have for the last three or so books and have discovered it's a much better read, and on top of that, I've discovered that it seems that what the women do (which really only amounts to whining about or bullying the men, anyway) is ultimately unessential to the plot. You will feel guilty the first few times you do this, but believe me, you'll be better off for it. And all those wonderful reviews! Sheesh! I can't imagine what they'd consider to be rubbish.
