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

Rating:
Summary: Too many directions
Review: The book is unreadable for someone unfamiliar with the series. Even in an intricate series each books need to have the ability to stand alone, this one does not. It's like reading a never ending soap opera, of the daytime variety.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book and series!
Review: These books are well written and capture the imagination. I love the many sub-plots and the different points of view. The characters are very well drawn. Start at the beginning of the series and work up to this book... it's worth it!! I hope this series continues past the 2 more predicted!!

Summary: Great series, long wait
Review: As many people have noticed, Jordon's books take a long time to come out. While the wait is frustrating, I am still eagerly anticipating the next (book 8) of this series.It would be interesting if book eight were to be the last, because 8 resembles one of the symbols of the series (eternity, in the form of a serpent biting its tail). If anybody finds an email for RJ, or has any other books in the same style (NOT TOLKIEN, THEY ARE NOT SIMILAR), email me [e-mail] [e-mail]

Summary: Makes 50% of the population seem a bit stupid
Review: I think the book was wonderfully written, but he takes a long time to get to a point. Also, he likes to make all men act a bit stupid and make women archangels, which really gets my goat. It's kind of insulting.

Summary: The book is an intersting read, but it needs some brevity
Review: I purchased the Lord of Chaos with a great deal of anticipation, and even though it further spread the story line out further I en joyed it! However my complaint is that Mr. Jordan seems to have written himself into a corner, there are so many threads to the plot that to cover all of the bases it is taking him TOO LONG to bring out the next book! While they were coming about once a year was a tedious wait, two years is much to long and my enthusiasum is beginning to wane. Details are fine if they don't get in the way of the story, as they obviously have here.

Summary: Good writing, but the series goes on and on and on and..
Review: I love this series when I started it, but there is no end to it. Characters who died are resurrected two books later, subplots you are deeply involved in achieve no resolution in the currant book, are hardly mentioned in the next and not resolved until the third in line- by which time you hope the good guys die horrible deaths :) Jordan is one heck of a writer- but he abusing his readers.

Summary: BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT
Review: This is part of one of the greatest fantasy book series ever written. You must read all of them. If only Robert Jordan would continue writing until all eternity. Absolutely superb. The different characters in the story come together at the end perfectly. Great flawless plot. An absolutely must read.

Summary: Insanity.
Review: This is another of Jordan's greatest works. He describes his characters well once again. However the plot of the book gets so intertwined I believe this was one way to work out some of it.. which made most of it slow reading. Once again the end fight scene is awsome. However the one part of the book I really liked was the return of Lan... How can you not like someone married to death? :)

Summary: Political intrigue, devastating climax
Review: First up, without giving anything away, I LOVED the ending. I thought it was the best ending of any wheel of time book so far (which is saying something). It left me breathless with its power. I also liked the quick scene shifts of the epilogue. The beginning, a long awaited dialogue with the Dark One and a description of Shayol Ghul were quality parts as well. And, there were some interesting parts with the forsaken in them. So, flashes of brilliance. But in between there was just a little too much chaff : irrelevant scenes and political minutae. I did not mind this because I like that sort of thing in limited amounts. But this book was the limit. Now we need a return to the fast paced development of the first four books in the series. I liked the host of new characters, particularly the various Tower Aes Sedai, but I hope this has not opened up too many sub plots. The series has slowed and needs to pick up speed again. And it needs to do it NOW.

Summary: Awesome Book For Those Who Take The Time To Enjoy It
Review: This book is the best one in its time. As any reader could see this book draws you into it's increduably detailed world, where you actually feel as your there. Do you know any other series with this much love of detail but also so much movement? As for the others, if you didn't like the book, stop bitching about it! Just try using your imagination when you read next time, or use a video instead. This book further shows the reality of the people and the not-so-clear distintions between pure good and evil. This is a superb book!
