The plot is good but takes too long to get to it. We’re on book eight of fourteen now so I don’t really want to go into too many details plot wise. It’s a strange structure to this book. We get a few chapters from each main POV which takes up most of the book …

A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan
A little slow but still a great read. So I’ve always felt this is where the series really starts to bloat, though I’m sure other’s may disagree. This is where we start to get more and more POV’s from minor characters such as Morgase, Galina or Seaine, to fairly major ones such as Elaida, Sevanna …
Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan
Still one of the most epic endings I have ever read in a book. This starts fairly slow but does gather momentum. In some ways this is one of the most significant books in the series considering it’s where Rand and the Aes Sedai really come into contact properly for the first time since he …
The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan
Another amazing entry. So there’s no Perrin in this book. The first time I read it I found it quite strange but he had such a big part to play in the last book that it kind of makes sense. We also had basically no Rand in the third book so it balances out. However …
The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan
This is where the series really expands and comes into its own. In all the other books so far, the main POV characters have either been together or separated and then rejoined for the climax at the end. However here they really branch out into their own unique storylines and they never really all come …
The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan
An enjoyable book but I think there are a few issues character wise. There is a change in style in this book. Rand only gets a few POV’s, instead it is dominated by Perrin, Egwene and finally we get Mat’s POV. When I first read this book oh so long ago, this really threw me …
The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan
A step up from the first book and that was already great. This book is still dominated by the POV of Rand again though there are a few others. Rand is dealing with the psychological impact of the revelations from the end of the last book which is pretty understandable. He’s in pure denial and …
The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
Still one of the best opening books to a series. Five friends are living a quiet and uneventful life in a very remote and rural part of the world. However a few strangers arrive, and their remote village is attacked by creatures out of legend, and their lives are suddenly and dramatically overturned and they …
