Lord of Chaos (The Wheel of Time, Book 6)

Rating:
Summary: More plot, less detail... Someone needs a good editor.
Review: I must say that Jordan has certainly created an amazing world, but after reading the other reviews it appears I am not the only one who feels he could have used far fewer words to tell this story. I love detail, don't get me wrong, but Jordan spends a whole chapter explaining one simple point or character trait, then often will reinforce it again 2 chapters later. I've faithfully kept up with the series, and I think that the seven books I've read would have made an excellent trilogy. A little editing would have made a good series absolutely fantastic. If you have patience, Robert Jordan has some truly original ideas that will keep you busy for months, even if you are a fast reader. I give him 5 stars for the concept, 5 stars for his incredible character development, 3 stars for the writing, and 2 stars for plot movement. Overall, lets call it a 4!

Summary: This book may just make me quit reading this whole series
Review: I can't believe the number of good reviews I've seen on this book. This volume advances the plot by so little, it could have been done in 100 pages or less. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's getting sick and tired of the endless bantering, ranting and raving of the women in the book (especially Nynaeve). It seems like Mr. Jordan is determined to just make all of the female characters in the book look like fools (he's doing a great job so far). I had originally thought that this series was going to end at 8 books, but now I'm not so sure. It seems that Jordan is just going to drag this series out for as long as it takes. The writing is getting worse, the situations are getting less interesting, and it seems that he's writing to an audience of 12-year-old boys.

Summary: Another good book by Jordan
Review: I don't know what you people are saying when you write that this book sucks. It ain't great beyond belief but it does not suck. It is annoying how Jordan dropped Perrin (my favorite character) in the fires of heaven but it gets worse with the fact that Jordan picks him up agian then loses the ball. Arrrghh. Besides that Jordan really works on the ladies and Rands insanity. A good book overall.

Summary: The best of the bunch
Review: While the first five parts varied in quality, this is the first great Wheel of Time book. It ain't perfect - especially annoying was a totaly unlogical change in Egwene's status - but finally we have strong charectarisem and a sene of grandure. I'm eager to read the next.

Summary: this book rocks! don't diss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I absolutely loved this book! It was the best one out of the entire series! I just wish that some people had a little tact when saying they didn't like it! And I personnally think that nynaeve was the best character, aside from moiraine, and you shouldn't judge jordan by his characters because they have nothing to do with him & his writting!

Summary: Jordan Does It Again
Review: WONDERFUL book, I suggest to everyone to start reading this series, because the books just keep getting better and better

Summary: Series Getting Worse and Worse
Review: The first two or three books of this series are terrific: detailed, well-written, intriguing, etc. However, since then, I find myself reading trashy, money-driven novels at the end of which, one of the many "bad guys" is killed. I bought the first six ... now I think I'll just sit down and skim them over a few hours. The series looks to go for another five or six books.... In other words, Jordan will be raking in the dough for at least ten more years. This particular book was lousy - the plot does not advance very far, the writing is poor, and the character development is virtually non-existent.

Summary: Another Masterful Installment of The Wheel of Time
Review: This, the sixth book in the series, is a fast-paced, masterful read. Some may complain about the size, but once you get sucked in to Jordan's vividly depicted world, the chapters will fly by! This book is jam-packed with plot twists and exciting revelations, and I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Summary: One of the better books in the series
Review: The reason that I first picked up the first book of the Wheel of Time series, was that I was waiting for Temple of Winds to come out. I have grown to trust Tor Fantasy as a decent source of reading, and I had heard good things about Jordan's work, most of all the Wheel of Time series. To tell the truth, Eye of the World was not a very interesting read. The world that Jordan did display was impressive, though. I finished the next 5 books rather quickly, and I believe that Lord of Chaos is one of the better reads. The institution of the Black Tower was my personal favorite, and I must say that I am looking forward to Crown of Swords. The complaints that Jordan's stories are drawn out are justified. I agree that most of these books could be about 200 pages shorter, but the world of the Wheel of Time, is definitely worth the extra pages. Overall, a very interesting read, worthy of the cost of this series.

Summary: I JUST COULD'NT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!!
Review: The Wheel of Time series was truly artfull! I own all seven and im patiently waiting for the eighth to arrive in the mail. Every time I had to put it down I had trouble thinking about what was going to happen next. For newcomers you might have a bit of trouble understanding so make full use of the Glossary! Otherwise get the whole series! Its worth the money spent.
