I'll make it simple: These books definately have their flaws (but boy does it have its greatness too). I have read a lot of reviews that people complain that nothing happens and that it seems to be never ending. While that does appear to be true, book 11 delivers A LOT! I don't know how he is going to (or whomever is now writing Memories) conclude all the plot lines, but this is by far one of the best books in the entire series. I place it as 2nd BEST! If you're currently on book 6 though 10 (and i thought 10 was the worst), it is definately worth the time to get through it so you can read this book!
I get these as hand me downs. I would never actually pay for this stuff. The first couple of books are amoung the best fantasy I have read, but Mr. Jordan is milking the cash cow to the extreme. The books are slow, boring and little occurs. There is no way that it should take well over 6000 pages (and counting) to tell a story. If you are already into the series, why bother with the reviews, you already know if you are going to read it. I just don't care anymore and want it over. New stories come in, characters disappear for books at a time. There is no reference back to these characters when they reappear, so you have to either dredge through the old books or try to figure it out as you go along. It is horribly written given that there is quite a period of time between the publication of new books. Don't waste your time starting this series. Find something with an end.Read full review
I agree with another reviewer that the the 3 or so books before this one were dry. I was growing increasingly frustrated with a lack of answers and vividly recall throwing each of books 8, 9 and 10 across the room when i finished them. (My husband asked me why I persisted in reading the series!) But Knife of Dreams really picked up the pace. Like a good series installment it tied up many plot lines while introducing some more and continuing to build up to the end at Tarmon Guidon (SP?). If you have been reading this series, you should definitely hang in there and read this one. Once done, I was ready for a break but I am sure I will be as eager as any good Jordan fan!
Love the Wheel of Time Series. I will be very sad when it is over. Knife of Dreams is full of action. Character development is awesome. These people have to exist somewhere! If you've been reading the series (wheel of time), Knife of Dreams is one of the better books! Possibly only one book left (sad face).
excelent commencement to the series. have read some of these books before, now reading series from start
