The Wheel of Time: A Crown of Swords

This book was a little slow for me. Still a very good book but definitely one of the slower ones. Not much happens in this one. A couple of important things happen, but I feel like he's using this book to build up to the next one and what will happen in it. Which is fine, it's a long series and you need some filler books with a lot of information in them and that's exactly what this is. More happens with Mat, Nynaeve and Elayne than it does with Rand in this one. The ending of the book was a little disappointing... I was kinda expecting and hoping for something bigger since the rest of the book was slow with Rand. Still fits nicely in the series though.

The Wheel of Time: Lord of Chaos


I am going to stop giving a summary on the rest of these books... I don't think I could provide a decent one without giving away huge spoilers and I don't like spoilers for the most part, so if you would like a summary, there are some very good ones on Wikipedia.

This book was very thrilling to put it mildly. So many plot twists were in this book, it was amazing and some of them you could not see coming at all. I will say that some parts dragged a bit and seemed slow, but Robert Jordan is a very detailed writer and likes to describe things to the fullest and sometimes it got old to me when the same thing would be described over and over by different characters. You did get each characters own take on the surroundings so that's what kept it from being "boring" in those parts of the book for me. Overall, an excellent book and a great addition to the series.

Sorry it took so long for the review to be put up. I've been very busy and this book is VERY long on top of me being busy.
