It shows the level of detail Jordan planned. Quite impressive, don't you think? I only wish he'd had chance to finish his beloved series.

I thought I'd keep up tradition and start a thread before Hoopy gets her book. So, here we are! Book three sees Rand... well, mostly absent. :p In his place, Perrin and a few others have chance to shine. We see old places and new as characters clash, and we finally meet one of my favourite...

Has any one read this on a Kindle. I have it and A Memory of Light in hardback, but they are oh so heavy and uncomfortable. Thinking about getting the Kindle versions. Would welcome advice.

I thought I'd start this thread early in the build-up to Hoopy getting book two of the WoT, The Great Hunt. So, in book two we see Rand and friends searching for an artefact with... interesting... properties, while Nynaeve and Egwene join up with another couple of familiar faces when they reach...

Since there are a few of us reading book one, I thought it might be a good idea to start this thread (thanks for that idea, Hoopy!). I believe Hoopy has just finished the... Shadar Logoth... scene? I love that place - it felt so spooky! (Everything I say, I'm saying only for book one. I won't...

I'm up to The Lord of Chaos on my reread, and I keep seeing mentions of people playing the bittern. Now, I've heard of a gittern, but I always thought that a bittern was a type of bird - either that, or the name of a steam locomotive or a type of salt. I've both googled it and checked Wiki...

...and reasons why authors should especially read it. :D My partner's a huuuge WoT fan and convinced me to give it a go. Well, without giving any spoilers (I've only just started book four, so please no spoilers!), I can say that I curled up on the couch and opened the first page. After a...

If you've FINISHED reading A Memory of Light, the last book of The Wheel of Time, this is the place to post. If you haven't... STOP READING THIS THREAD NOW!!!! No sympathy for people complaining of spoilers if they read beyond this first post.

The Wheel of Time Book 14: A Memory of Light

For a long time the dominating force in US comic books has been the superhero, but latterly that has begun to change with the rise of licenced titles. That does not mean to say this is a new thing, as far back as the days if Conan comics have been drawing on other media for new titles, and who...

Just read the part where nynaeve and elayne agree to let 20 sisters teach the sea folks whatever they want in exchange for their help in using the bowl of the wind. I thought that was an example of poor bargaining. Giving the bowl of the wind to the sea folks after they use the bowl of the...

Here is the link: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/05/michael-whelans-cover-for-a-memory-of-light-revealed Too bad Whelan hadn't been doing the covers since 1990. Puts Sweet to shame. At least there are no more Rand break-dancing pictures.:D

http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Memory_of_Light/prologue.php From the Prologue. Since WOT prologues have been clocking in at 80+ pages this is obviously only an excerpt. Thoughts? One question arose for me - at what point will the the Whitecloaks accept the fact that the last battle...

Who is your least favourite character in WOT? Mine is Padan Fain. I simply dislike him. To me, he is so disgusting. My second least favourite character is Loial. Sometimes, I do not know what purpose he serves in the whole series. He is so timid, and always reading book, and he isn't a...

new here, first post Well, I just finished A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan and now I'm a little nervous to go on to The Path of Daggers, as I have read online the next few books really start to lag. What's everyone's thoughts on the series without spoiling much? I've loved...

TOR Publishing has just announced that the release date for A Memory of Light (which Sanderson finished about a month ago), will be January 8, 2013. January 8, 2013?:confused: Seriously? Apparently they want it to be released in the last month of the 'Year of the Dragon' in the Chinese...

Perhaps hate is too strong a word, perhaps not strong enough. I was kindly asked to tone down my anti-Egwene rhetoric over at Dragonmount - perhaps I can find more license to vent my Eggy frustration here but I've come to loathe her in the second half of The Wheel of Time. She is a self...

Many of us never thought we'd see the story of the Wheel of Time actually finished after Robert Jordan passed away, but Brandon Sanderson announced on Twitter earlier that he had finished writing the final book, A Memory of Light. It's been a long time, but it'll be good to see how the story...

I had just recently finished book 7 of the wheel of time series. I am so GLAD that the women finally found the bowl of the wind. It sure took them AGES, I mean, typically, AGES ,to find that object. Is the bowl of the wind so important that so many chapters must be devoted to finding it...

I'm sure that some of you will have seen this, but I'll post it here for those who haven't - it's the funniest summary of the Wheel of Time series that I've seen so far, even if it is missing the last few books.:D "The Wheel of Time" by ISAM - Atari Forums
