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

Rating:
Summary: Continues to uphold and expand its mighty granduer!!
Review: This novel is definitly one of the best in this monumental series. Jordan continues to show us that the world he has created can become even more real with each book. The breathtaking climax of this novel is so huge! Rand finally learns the errors of trusting the self-important unwashed bags of sticks that the Aes Sedai are. For those of you lacking the patience, imagination and/or intelligence to finish such a "long" book, if you had actually finished the book, you would have seen what Jordan was building up to. And why the hell are you reviewing a book you never even finished? Stupid people.

Summary: This book was detailed and fun to read. I loved it!
Review: The book was filled with surprising twists and turns. It was richly detailed and excellent. I loved it. I would recommend it to anyone that isn't intimidated by a book's size.

Summary: Wait until the entire series is out-then read it.
Review: I foolishly finished Lord of Chaos while it was still new to paperback and liked it. Although of course, I think that the length of Jordan's series is appalling, it is still very well written. He has the potential to make a masterful series that doesn't drag for eighty years. One reader said he was going to set himself of fire if Jordan didn't finish. Honestly I don't know how the author walks the streets safely anymore after pulling off such a maddening series. Anyway, if you're reading Lord of Chaos now, slow down and wait until Jordan finishes the series. If you don't, you may end up like me,waiting and waiting and waiting for the next book and then losing interest and facts from the previous novels. Then of course there are no little synopses that can remind you of what you've forgotten. Oh Well...Jordan's series was great, but he's lost sight of what it means to write a truly great fantasy series.

Summary: Successfully put down a series
Review: I have at long last, managed to successfully quit reading a series. This is from somone who finished reading a Kevin J. Anderson series simply because I managed to make it through the first one (Sorry, Kevin, but you suck). The first 3 or so books were good reads, and I had made it through the fifth (I think) in about two weeks when I discovered something. This author is continuing to write books for money, and will drag this series along until he has wrung every last nickel out of it. There quite easily could be ten books to this series and frankly, I just can't make it. Reminds me of when Frank Herbert kept writing Dune novels simply because they kept throwing money at him. Terry Goodkind did a much better job with this type of story.

Summary: Breathtaking
Review: Surely I have to say that LoC had a slow start, but the end was really breathtaking! Rand being kidnapped by the Aes Sedai from Tar Valon and saved by Perrin, the growing strength of LTT in Rands head, Egwene being Amyrlin (!!! I almost started to scream when I read the words: "They want YOU to be Amyrlin Seat, Egwene"), Nynaeve having Healed Logain and Siuan and most of all: the escape of Moghedien!! Christ, I almost fainted when I read that Aran'gar setted Moghedien free. And not to forget: are Moiraine and Lanfear still alive? I hope so, 'cause I liked Moiraine and Lanfear is one of the most interesting people of the saga, together with Min. Looking forward to read ACOS -- will do that in only 18 days..........

Summary: Best book of the series...so far.
Review: The one-line summary says it all. I hear so many people complaining about how the series goes on and on and on...okay, I might get some comments about this, but I enjoy them...it's a SERIES. Which means, it'll run until the author runs out of ideas. If you hate the fact that it's going on and on, why continue to buy these books? Personally, I enjoy them...yes, it's all a matter of opinion, but use some common sense when you right these comments, people. If you like the series, you'll love this book. If you just want the series to end now, you won't.

Summary: This book is the best yet!
Review: Jordan has now said that the series is going to go past 10 books and I am overjoyed! Read this book! It is a really great book.

Rating:
Summary: Good, but I'm just hoping Jordan will get to the point soon.
Review: Unlike like the rest of the "reviews", I'll actually talk about this book. In Lord of Chaos, Rand is fighting for his sanity while trying to control the Lords of Camelyn and Cairhein. He is also trying to keep the opposing Aes Sedai at bay. The story is really good when it focuses on Rand. A sub-plot about Perrin and his jealous wife Faile comes later in the book. I think Perrin jumped into that marriage too soon, and it certainly drags the story down a bit. Mat used to be my favorite character in the series, but he travels with Elayne and Nynaeve in this book. Any sub-plot with Nynaeve quickly grows tiresome--how any woman can be such a shrew and still have friends is beyond understanding. Her character never develops much past the man-hating bully of the first book. Skim through the parts about Nynaeve, and the book will be much more enjoyable.

Summary: I said Gosh Darn It that was gooooooOOODD!
Review: Now, I'm warning all you Fantasy-aficionados, this is definitely part of a series. You must come into it starting from book one to really appreciate the growth of the characters and the exceptional routes their lives have taken. Jordan is the man. Whereas Tolkien was history and linguistics building up a fabulous epic, Jordan takes personalities and cultures and is doing a pretty damn good job. His battle scenes are phenomenal. His Source-tapping scenes are incredible. And his end-battle sequences are to die for. A darn good read, and I suggest it to all.

Summary: Awesome. Nuff said.
Review: All you complainers out there that think that the "Wheel of Time" has gone down hill since "The Dragon Reborn", need to stop snivelling. Robert Jordan re-introduces the characters for the benifit of those who haven't read the previous novels. Those of you who think the series has become too long are probably just slow readers. In fact, Robert Jordan has more creativity in his little finger than most other authors combined. Most modern fantasy authors have obvious similarities of plot and style implemented into their own novels. Read Goodkind's books. Anyway, Robert Jordan continues his literary superiority trend into book 6. They will continue to be good as long as the Dark One lives!
