So, I was away from WoT after a while, and have just finished Towers of Midnight (was great to get some answers I've been waiting OVER TWENTY YEARS for, but anyways...) One question that has stuck with me though, and the reason I ask is because honestly I kinda only really skimmed the last...

Hi All, I stopped reading WoT when RJ sadly passed away. I'm now waiting for the rest of the books to be released in paperback so that they all match on my bookcase. I have The Gathering Storm sat waiting for me patiently, Towers of Midnight I believe is due out in paperback in September here...

I can't understand why she didn't do it first chance she got. I know it wasn't so common a thing in the Age of Legends, but the bonding weave is not beyond her ability. I can see why she didn't use a complicated compulsion. Having a puppet dragon kind of defeats the purpose. But the bond would...

Hello! I am a big fan of the Wheel of Time. I have read a whole slew of other fantasy series (Eddings, Brooks, Tad Williams, etc) but I like the Wheel the best. I am really curious / interested in some other series (specifically A Song of Ice and Fire, Malazan Book of the Fallen) and was...

Has anyone else looked at this? I bought it for my grandson and was looking at it to see how it differed from EotW. There is a whole new prologue in it with Egwene as a nine-year old.

During Aviendha's chapters, we see that she runs into an Aiel woman called Nakomi, but who is she? Is there more to her than meets the eye? I've read some theories that suggest it could be an Aiel Wise One, a channeller of some kind, or even one of the Forsaken, but I'm not sure. Her...

Maybe it's just me and feel free to blow me out of the water. But the more I think of it the more I feel that it will be Galad that takes some sort of fatal blow to save Rand, that will bring this prophecy to light. What is the point of their 1/2 blood relationship otherwise? Galad lives the...

I was looking through Eye of the World yesterday, and found this... This is from Eye of the World Chapter 4 The Gleeman. Thom is doing a little demonstration for the villagers of Emond's Field. After reading Towers of Midnight, Thom's words sound almost prophetic. I was under the impression...

The Eye of the World was first published in January 1990, making this month the 20th anniversary of the Wheel of Time series. Eleven books and 44 million sales later, it's still going strong :)

I read mat's story line and thought why?? The HORROR TOWN......Ok to show the pattern breaking apart.... or maybe just to fill out the timing of events but why??? Why suddenly insert Mini Horror story that is quickly wrapped up if their are no further plotlines to make use of the informtion...

Well, tomorrow's the day! We get the first posthumous installment of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm. My Favourite Local Bookstore has a copy reserved for me, which I will pick up right after work, and then start reading after I put my kids to bed tomorrow night. What do...

It's been a while since we had a thread in here, so I thought I'd start one and see how it goes. As a group, the Forsaken have had rather mixed results for a group of Channellers aligned to the Dark One. Some of them have had rather less success than others, but who are your favourites...

So the name of the next volume has been released. "Towers of Midnight" any thoughts? like? dislike? I definitely like it more than "The Gathering Storm" which was too generic. Anyways what I'm really happy about is "A Memory of Light" will now be the title for the last volume, which I think is...

Chapter 1 of The Gathering Storm has been made available here. Note that you need to be a member of Tor.com to read the chapter, but joining the website is free. The much bigger prologue is also apparently to be made available as an ebook for a small fee, but based on the previous times this...

Who is your favourite WOT character?

Well, it's a little better than the break dancing Rand 'al Thor with the missing left hand and the apparently broken leg, but not by much(click on it to make it bigger in an amazon window): Yes, it looks like the rest of the series' US books, with covers that got steadily worse...

Very nice indeed. In fact, I'd go as far as to say the best WoT cover art I've ever seen:

Hello all, First post on this site. I've just begun reading the wheel of time series and I'm almost finished with the second book. My question is this. I can already tell this is going to be a long and complicated series, and I'm wondering if there's any sort of TIMELINE to the events that...

It has recently come to light that 'A Memory of Light' is to be split into three books due to its enormous size. The first section out this year is to be called 'The Gathering Storm'. There is a posting on Brandon Sandersons website (which i cant give u due to me low post count) that explains...

I thought about asking this under one of the other threads, but rather than take the chance this would be considered a side issue or a thread hi-jack, I thought I offer a discussion here. I loved the first 6 volumes of the Wheel of Time. When it was first released my understanding was it was...
