Few times before has a book been able to delight me and make me cringe at the same time. To be fair, I'm not a fantasy aficionado. My knowledge extends to a couple of series I read when I was a younger. My wife and I completed this entire series in seven months and during this time The Wheel o...
На моменти книгата и толкова увличаща, че спираш да четеш. Това вживяване в съдбата на героите за мен е уникално. За пръв път съм стъписан пред трудности, пред които героите са изправени до степен, да реагирам като в реалността, другата реалност. This book was entertaining...mostly in the second ...
This book derives strength from its narrative, and unfortunately not from the quality of its writing. Lots of main plot lines are wrapping up in the big consolidation leading towards the last battle. Some of these involve emotional, moving moments for main characters - Aviendha's discovery of t...
I loved this series!This being said, there's a few remarks that I would like to point out. The action takes sometime, where you read around 300 pages for one/two weeks in the timeframe of the main story, this made me sometimes to feel a bit of despair.I thought the feminine viewpoint was a bit di...
'The wheel weaves as the wheel wills'After Tokein very few have successfully managed to carve out original universes of their own. Jordan's 'Wheel of time' series is huge, in every manner.From the concept to the volume to the character plots. He's managed to create a frame where every law of the ...
So, before anything else. First things first, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! WE ARE OUT OF THE SLUMP!!!!!!!!PRAISE THE LORD, THE BOOK DID ITI DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD FEEL SO GOODBUT IT FELT EVEN BET...
SPOILERS ARE PRESENT So, A Crown of Swords. Part of me is unbelievably surprised that I have arrived at this point in the series already, halfway through the journey. Indeed, after having heard so much negativity composing these middle books, it wasn't so terrible. Of course, I haven't read furth...
Recently when I write reviews, I have been using bolded quotes. I am quite fond of bolding quotes because i love illustrating the writing of the author. However, in this specific review, I will not do so. Why? Because most of the words and writing in this book is bullshit Commence Rant Wow, I c...
Part 6 - Why Does A World With A System Of Cyclical Reincarnation Have A Word For Heaven?This is a reread of the entire Wheel of Time, and there may be spoilers ahead for the whole series. It’s also pretty long and disjointed, in what I’m going to pretend is a clever meta-commentary on the series...
Part 4 of my Wheel of Time reread aka; The Part Where Faile Is Introduced And Unfortunately Is Not Immediately Killed.Once again this won’t be a review, but just a bit of a disorganised ramble and stray observations. Spoilers for the whole series ahead. Like the previous two books in the series,...
Part 7 - Canned RandThis is a reread of the entire Wheel of Time so there’ll be spoilers for the whole series ahead.Well that was a real slog. If Fires of Heaven was brightened by the warm glow of nostalgia and affection I’d retained all these long years, Lord of Chaos increased the glow to a har...
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsNOTICE: this reread is in preparation for finally biting the bullet and reading book 14. That means I HAVE NOT read book 14 yet. Please be mindful of this in the comments, both for me and for others who may or may not have progressed past this point in the series. Thank yo...
*As per usual, I write this review immediately after having read said book**Also, since this is the second book in the series, I will write on how it continues and develops the series as a whole as well as how it stands on its own*So the Great Hunt, the second installment of the Wheel of Time ser...
Book 8 of the Wheel of Time really gets a bad rap. Contrary to common wisdom, plenty happens in this book. The problem, I think, is that nothing gets resolved. (Not having any Mat, especially after the cliffhanger at the end of book 7, doesn't help either.) Is it ridiculous for a fantasy series t...
This is not the edition I have, which is the first printing from 1984, with a photo on the cover featuring Ah-nold in his fur Fruit of the Looms from that dreadful second Conan movie of the same name. Of the same name because this is the book version of the movie, and frankly more entertaining. ...
