Description
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! In Knife of Dreams, the eleventh novel in Robert Jordan’s 1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is upon Rand al'Thor—and now the Dragon Reborn must confront the Dark One as humanity's only hope. The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable… Abandoning Rand’s war against the Dark One, Perrin Aybara has made his own truce with the Seanchan in his obsessive quest to save his wife Faile from the Shaido and destroy their mutual enemies. To achieve victory, Perrin must render the Shaido Wise One channelers in Malden powerless. But even as he puts his desperate plan into action, Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, moves against him. Traveling with circus performers through Seanchan-controlled Altara, Mat Cauthon attempts to court Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons, to complete their fateful prophesized marriage. Despite being surrounded by Seanchan seeking to kill her, Mat’s intended leads him on a merry chase while he wages guerrilla warfare to protect her. Knowing he cannot defeat the Dark One while at war with the Seanchan, Rand brokers for a truce with the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Unaware of Tuon’s actual location, the Dragon Reborn walks into a trap set by the Forsaken Semirhage, who possesses knowledge about his powers that will either shatter or steel his resolve in the forthcoming conflict. Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant 1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

It will be impossible to review each of these books separately, as the story has to be read from start to finish (yes, all fourteen books). This series really is a true epic fantasy, and I have loved it ever since I read my first part back in 1997. I got that book from my then boyfriend our first Christmas together, and I use to joke and say that was the reason we eventually got married (we're celebrating our 30th anniversary next year, and the books are still amazing). This series really is unique, and to me it has a little bit of everything. The characters are great and very well written, and the magic system really is one of a kind. The world building is amazing, and all the different cultures in the different countries are very well written. I love all of the different monsters, even though I find the Myrdraals particularly spooky. The story is such an adventure, and the books are fantastic. Every fantasy fan that likes a long epos should really read all of them.

The eleventh novel in "The Wheel of Time" series is a much needed improvement over the past volume. Or the past four volumes, really. "Knife of Dreams" far outpaces "Crossroads of Twilight" for the simple fact that things actually happen and plots actually resolve themselves in this book. Finally, readers are given resolutions that we have been waiting three books for. Perrin chasing after his kidnapped wife? Resolved. Elayne trying to gain the Lion Throne? Resolved. Mat fleeing Altara with the Daughter of the Nine Moons? Resolved. Rand's continued efforts? Advanced. While CoT was a slow and stagnant mess, "Knife of Dreams" kicks the Wheel of Time back into action and actually spins out some worthwhile resolutions, and the later half of the book was actually enjoyable to read. While the Wheel of Time has always been a series that has required patience and given its rewards only after thorough digestion, I was laughing out loud with joy and satisfaction by the time I got to the last tenth of the book and things started wrapping up. Though the last four books made one heck of a mess, Robert Jordan was definitely doing his darndest to get things into shape, here. Looking back, I am eminently glad that I didn't begin reading the Wheel of Time series until this late in its gigantic, plus four million sprint of slow paced but epic storytelling. I can completely understand those who couldn't finish the series, and if I had been one of them, waiting two or three years between books and then getting unsatisfactory novels like CoT, well, I might have joined them. This is the time to be reading the Wheel of Time, with Brandon Sanderson belting out the last few novels in the series with the speed and efficiency of a well-oiled machine. Now that I've finished all the novels that Robert Jordan managed to complete in life, we'll finally get to see what kind of job he does. I have high hopes, as I did after finishing "The Final Empire." Hopefully, the combination of the two authors will complement each other, with Sanderson's tighter prose inserting some vigor back into the Wheel of Time and Robert Jordan's carefully laid out notes preventing Sanderson from penning a horrible ending to the Wheel of Time the way he did with his own Mistborn Trilogy. At least I'll know that whatever happens was Jordan's plan, not Sanderson. I don't think I could take the indignity if he went and killed off another one of my favorite characters. (Rand, in this case.) /Pant What a huge series this has been. . .

This series started out great, but by book six you could start to see a decline as Jordan started to change/lose his focus. Books 7 & 8 declined fast, and by books 9 and 10 the story's plot lines had all come to a standstill. I was having to force myself to read them, where I used to have to force myself to put them down. I couldn't take anymore, but I had read that this book was better, so I gave it a try. I am glad I did. This was Jordan back to his old form. Over the last 4 books, or so (not including the prequel), Jordan seemed to forget about the main plot and main characters. It almost seemed, to me, that he had said that the series would take twelve books, and he realized that it wouldn't so he started creating a lot of filler characters, and inconsequential plot lines, to fill up space and leave the main characters and plot in limbo. Well, this book finally gets the story moving forward again. Just about everyone's story moves forward, some long drawn out sub plots are concluded, and some long forgotten characters are reintroduced (like all of Elayne's family, which she seemed to have completely forgot she had). Many will be glad to hear that Matt finally gets some decent page time and story progression after being neglected for so long. Rand also gets some progression (which is increased even more in book 12). Thankfully, many of the inane subplots are ended quickly, and more focus is spent on major plot points. Little time is spent on unimportant characters. It was like he suddenly realized how close to book 12 he was, and he had a lot of catching up to do. Even Elayne's story finally moves forward. This was the most enjoyable book in the series I have read since book 6 (or maybe even book 5). I actually looked forward to reading it every day, and breezed right through it. It has been a long time since I felt that way about a Robert Jordan book. I'm very glad that I decided to give this one a shot. It was a very good read.

It finally wrapped up some of those storylines that felt like they had been dragging on forever. I imagine we’re in the endgame now.

Obviously, Jordan is one of the best writers in this genre of all time. With this said, there is always room for improvement. He has improved upon Tolkien's lack of character development, but maybe went a bit overboard. This series has always had the flaw of being a bit on the lengthy side. I love long books, but the story has to be moving throughout. Some of the books--especially in the beginning--do just that, while others are just setting up the next book with nothing really happening in them. This book definately moves the story along. A lot happens in this story and a lot of questions are answered. This story really moves. Some parts--such as with Furyk are just window dressing and aren't essential to the story, but for the die-hard fans, scenes like this do add to make a more complete picture of this specific fantasy world. Overall, this is one of the better books in the series. I have only been disappointed by Jordan by one book where it seemed like he just put out a book in a hurry to appease the publisher. I would compare the pace of this book to the third in the series, except with a lot more answers and hints given. The total success of this book as a legacy in fantasy will depend upon Jordan's ending the series. If Jordan disappoints, the whole series will not acheive the cult-like level of followers that it so far has. If the series ends without explaining everything, it will also disappoint. If Jordan ends the series in a satisfying way, he has the potential of adding his name to the ranks of people like Tolkien. All-in-all, if you read this series, this book is worth the money.

While it still doesn't compare to the first four or five books, Knife of Dreams is probably the best novel in the Wheel of Time series since Fires of Heaven. The good news is numerous plot lines advance and the writing shows the effect of a full editing cycle. The bad news is that the good writing here oddly illuminates how much of a hole author Robert Jordan dug for himself with the mess of the previous novels - with it being made very clear even a writer of his talent probably won't be able to resolve the plethora of details even with another couple of books. I take a star off for letting a number of details and characters slip along with another half star for a pace that at times returns to near-plodding, but I'll round it up from 3.5 stars to four for the progress here that makes me have high hopes for the next book. It is outright scary to think of how many top selling authors have come and gone since Jordan started this series. In 1990, Lemony Snicket was a sophomore in college, J. K. Rowling had just taken that fateful train ride back to London, and most of the top sellers on the sci-fi/fantasy lists hadn't been published even in fan magazines. My rating here is standalone and does not reflect my frustration with how Jordan has dragged this out; read my reviews of Crossroads and New Spring if you doubt that. (Incidentally, Jordan claims to never have read a review on Amazon, having stated that "if you're going to get your heart checked out, would you go to a doctor (professional reviewer) or walk up to a guy on the street?" Oh well.) Although not spectacular, Knife of Dreams finally gives hope again. Without spoiling things, many plotlines raised in the last few books advance. Perrin's attempts to recover Faile, Mat's escape with and courtship of Tuon, Elayne's struggle for her crown, and a few miscellaneous issues resolve. More significantly and more satisfyingly, Jordan really does make progress on some plotlines that have been promised since the first few books - Egwene's struggle to truly be the Amyrlin Seat, the implications of Lan as Aan'allein, and miraculously, even some movement on the long (1995!) dormant Eel- and Aelfinn plotline. There are also some remarkable new point-of-view (Tuon, Loial!) perspectives that add to the details of the world without having to write hundreds of pages. Finally, the book also shows the effort of being at Tor for more than a month before publication like the last four or five novels; Jordan isn't allowed to go off into tangents - and thankfully, no major new characters get introduced - and in general the writing is generally crisper. Unfortunately, it's not enough. Jordan has created so many irrelevant plotlines and characters from the sixth book onwards that even with a workmanlike effort to clean up here the mess is still very much present. A glaring result is that the main plot - what the Dragon Reborn is doing - not only receives merely cursory attention but also doesn't show up until Chapter 18, or 385 pages into a 760 page book. The not-particularly-engaging Windfinder and Tower-divided stories get far too much coverage without moving much, a number of major characters besides Rand (like Min, Nynaeve, and Aviendha) get very little stage time with more minor players like Galina and various Shaido characters receiving far too much, other interesting plots like the Forsaken move barely at all with minimal coverage, and of all the advancements above only the Egwene line really feels satisfying. (If Jordan had advanced the other main characters as much as Egwene this would have been a much better book.) The problem is clear. The last really good WoT book, Fires of Heaven, had roughly four or five major plotlines; this has at least ten thanks to the mess of the last few books. While Jordan and his editor state unequivocally that this will be finished in one more book (thankfully planned to be completed before any more prequels), all the new material he's added makes this doubtful and is now standing directly in the way of a great wrapup. Jordan's goal was to have fans sweating by the end of the book; for me, I didn't get there as this doesn't qualify as a cliffhanger by any means. Over the summer, I actually reread all the previous books and the good news is the bad ones make more sense as part of a sequential order - and at least Jordan is somewhere close to his old form, so this isn't bad. But then again, it's not great either. Still, it deserves 3.5 stars and is worth buying in hardcover rather than waiting. For the first time in years, I look forward to the next novel. September 2007: My sympathies to Jordan's lovely wife Harriet on his recent passing. For those who are interested, the notes he left as the basis of the massive final book, A Memory of Light, will be completed and published in 3 separate books by Brandon Sanderson.

Almost there. Book 11, the last of the Jordan books. By now I believe Jordan knew he was sick. In the reread before The Gathering Storm, and after 20 years, new perspective on the series has come to light. One that Jordan was dying as the final books were generated. We also learn that as the series gets popular, Jordan can afford to hire assistants to work for him and try to keep track of all the elements. But that must have been a waste of money. Still errors exist in the grammar. Then the errors of characters who have met previously running across one another, the fans did a much better job for free then the paid staff. The Hubris of Jordan, and the horrible description of battles in what is a series that is to culminate in a battle. By a man who went to the Citadel. Perhaps that claim is false. The teach military history at the Citadel, tough perhaps Jordan flunked all the medieval history elements which is where fantasy battles reside. But why stick with a series for so many books. I have told how the author breaks the rule of Show don't Tell, by telling and telling and telling even more. We have POV errors though maybe not as bad as others. (Listen to the Audio Books where they try to keep each chapter by the sex of the first POV character. That becomes confusing, especially trying to hear when each of the readers tries to sound like Rand or another character from a different POV.) The answer is that 1800 named characters make a rich story. The Travelogue and history fest of this prophecy coming to fruition, even where it does not make sense in so many places, is full and enrapts you in its depth. Knife of Dreams does have too much Tell again. The chapters of each of the Protagonists (more than one, another rule broken) get started and pick up speed, and then switch across the world to the next... A few Arcs are tied up, but too many are left hanging. The time frame again is too much is happening all at once, when before months were given to developing the growth of the characters. These are all still young people who are making decisions way beyond their years and experience. But better then several of the last, and the end may be in end sight... If left to Jordan, he was probably told to finish it at 12. With his death, stretching the 12th book into 3 books, so 14 books may be a sop to his memory. Just being content that it is nearly finished, and nearly complete means getting through this book, finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Robert Jordan was a great writer. The WHEEL of TIME series was a pleasure to read. In depth stories, characters, plots, and suspense masterfully woven together to produce such an outstanding series. At times the names and places get confusing but the author includes an index of names and places with their spelling and pronunciation along with a brief synopsis. Read the series again and like the HOBBIT and LORD OF THE RINGS, you pickup a lot of things you probably missed the first time through!
