I'm intrigued with the part about the Shalom (is that it?) and the world before The Breaking. What exactly is that about? Do you think he's planning on expanding on that part? And given the level of scientific knowledge and technology in that period, does it count as sci fi? And does that mean...

Hi Ive just brough the first book in this series and am going to start reading it soon. However I have read in many different reviewsthat from book 5 onwards the story seems to dip quite a bit and drags on. Anyway I was just wondering a few things. Firstly I would not mind the story not...

I just cast down my copy of 'The Path of Daggers' and ran to the computer to see if anyone else felt as exasperated as I by the devolution of 'The Wheel of Time' into the 'Robert Didn't Have Many Girlfriends - Here's Why' series. I found this thread on Google. Hope you don't mind me joining in...

I don't know about you but when reading it I found alot more similarities to Tolkein than normal in a fantasy book. Please explain your views on this, I have not read much of the series and I am wondering if it is worth reading more...

This is a short question: - I'm currently re-reading the Wheel of Time to get me back up to speed before starting the latest. BUT, it keeps referring to the woman Rand beheaded and I've already forgotten who that was and when. Please help before I have to re-read the books again to stop this...

When I think of a real epic fantasy series, i think of Robert Jordan's "wheel of time", raymond e. feist's vast collection of books, George r.r.martin's "a song of ice and fire" and ian irvine's "a shadow on the glass series" and "well of echoes" series. However which of these, and the many...

WARNING, SPOILERS BELOW Lets discuss it. I kinda like how Matt became the Prince of Ravens and how Perrin rescued Faile but I was dissapointed the the Two Rivers men didn't have a greater role in her rescue. I also was dissapointed in Elaynes childishness when...

You got to admit,it has it's times when it's just to dull to read.Jordan to much describes things that aren't even related with the main picture.

Have just been reading through an interview with Mr Jordan, very interesting. He actually writes for 8 or 9 hours a day, seven days a week. He has a file of 2 megabytes just on the Aes Sedai and Initiates of the White Tower - living or dead. His General Rule File is for laws, customs of each...

when i read the wheel of time series (jordan), i remember being told it was based on the LOTR middle earth. at the time (i stopped at book 7 btw) i got out the LOTR books and made an abortive effort to read them. to cut a long story short, i couldn't find any parrellels. I'm however re-reading...

If the series was ever to be adapted (doubt it but anyway), what actors would you choose for which characters? I thought Monica Belluci would be good for Lanfear and Christina Ricci for Cyndane. Kate Beckinsdale might do well as Elayne and the actress on Alias who plays Nadia could play Faile.

Does anyone else feel that "The New Spring" by Robert Jordan sort of felt like it had been written by someone else? It was so different. And does anyone feel that the new book was kind-of-different too? Adding to that it feels rushed, like he's hurrying up to tie up loose ends, after stringing...

There didn't seem to be a thread for people that have just started KoD. So anyway I did just start to read it, and I must say that opening scene with the duel challenge seemed to be more action then the entire last book in this series. That makes me "want" to read rather then "have" to read like...

I'll try not to put anything remotely spoilerish. :) I just finished the book and I really liked it but I felt exactly the same as after book 10. That's not quite fair, I felt a little bit better but there's the same feeling of getting nowhere. I thought this was the book that was supposed...

I know that quite a few of you have voiced (or typed, as it were :) ) frustration with his WoT books but I'm sure there are others out there who've read and enjoyed them. This post is for the latter group: Enter the Hunt and win weekly prizes answering trivia questions based on the WoT...

Well,it's been awhile since i posted anything here,butt......... I'm surprised that there is no shop here.Also,it would be nice if people from Serbia could communicate in their language(you know,Serbian):cool: . Also,is there any girl who like's book's of Robert Jordan and who would like to...

I've been trying to find out more info about the movie there trying to come up with. You all probably know that Jordan sold movie rights, so I wonder how they will be, I'm always really leary when they try to do a book to movie. How do you guys and gals think they'll do and has anyone heard...

i think at Tarmon Gai'don that instead of Rand dying at the slopes of Dragonmount, i reckon he is going to destroy the Dark one and then he will lose all memory of who and what he was, becoming a begger. Any thoughts?
