Whew, I had just finished reading the last book of the wheel of time series. And I am sad. Now, there is nothing more for me to look forward to. I will probably re-read the series, again. Spoilers:

...I will say it was nice to read a prologue that packs a wallop again :D Firstly Galad challenging and killing that horrible rapist d*ckweasel. Yay, Galad! Perrin finally getting some more information about Faile and making mysterious plans. And hah, Berelain, punching Galina full in the...

Me and WoT have a long history together, though not the novels, but mainly from the game. My dad showed me the demo of the WoT game (without even knowing about the WoT series), and i was scared to death by it. The grunts of the trollocs (which i learnt was their name later) traumatized me and...

Well, the events of this book take place side-by-side with the events of the next, though this is DEFINITELY my preferred book. In it we see Rand being... interesting, Perrin being loyal, and the girls having their way with Rand. :D The ending is also awesome. Absolutely. The highlight of...

So I better start this thread in case Hoopy's book arrives from the US... :D What to write here without giving spoilers? Hmmm. Well, book eight is the only book in the series without a whizzbang ending. Indeed, the book seems as if it should be combined with book nine to make one uber long...

It's been discussed that some of the words in the Wheel of Time series can result in...interesting pronunciations. I'm especially bad at this, as I read very quickly so my eyes barely register letters, just an impression of the word -- added with the fact that once I say a word a certain way...

Well, since I was well and truly scolded by Hoopy for not making the last thread in time, here is the next one super early. :D In book seven, Elayne, Aviendha and Mat come closer to the bowl ter'angreal that will restore natural weather to the world, whilst Egwene begins to gather all manner...

Oh, my goodness! I'm on the last book. Four chapters in. I have to say, I started my thread, "Why People SHOULD" Read the WoT", when I was on about book five, not knowing how the story progressed yet sensing it was something monumental. Well, all these months later I stand by that...

Seeing as someone hasn't started it yet :p I've made it past the opening prologue. Some bits I could take or leave -- the Morgase sections still aren't doing much for me and I don't even care about knowing anything that Gawyn's up to at the moment -- but other bits were quite interesting...

I've heard that 1-3 can be read as a stand alone series, and the rest was unnecessarily added on. In your opinion is this true? I must admit the infamy of WoT has me interested, but not all for the right reasons (especially when I hear the passionate hatred of books 6-10). If I decided to...

The long-standing tradition continues. Here is the thread for book five, since Hoopy's about to get it. In this book we see... stuff. I wish I could remember most of it! My WoT marathon has flown by, with so much to remember, learn, and keep track of! I remember there were interesting parts...

So. I know the series has finished, but some of us are still working our way through it. I thought a place for people who've not read the series would be great, where we can guess at plot threads and puzzles that we forget to mention in their relevant book threads. I have one. It *just*...

As ever, here's the thread for book four, The Shadow Rising. Even the name sounds ominous! :D In this book we see our character list expand and we see some surprising changes to places we love. We also see some fascinating new places, too, and discover more about the Aiel. And let's not forget...

It shows the level of detail Jordan planned. Quite impressive, don't you think? I only wish he'd had chance to finish his beloved series.

I thought I'd keep up tradition and start a thread before Hoopy gets her book. So, here we are! Book three sees Rand... well, mostly absent. :p In his place, Perrin and a few others have chance to shine. We see old places and new as characters clash, and we finally meet one of my favourite...

Has any one read this on a Kindle. I have it and A Memory of Light in hardback, but they are oh so heavy and uncomfortable. Thinking about getting the Kindle versions. Would welcome advice.

I thought I'd start this thread early in the build-up to Hoopy getting book two of the WoT, The Great Hunt. So, in book two we see Rand and friends searching for an artefact with... interesting... properties, while Nynaeve and Egwene join up with another couple of familiar faces when they reach...

Since there are a few of us reading book one, I thought it might be a good idea to start this thread (thanks for that idea, Hoopy!). I believe Hoopy has just finished the... Shadar Logoth... scene? I love that place - it felt so spooky! (Everything I say, I'm saying only for book one. I won't...

I'm up to The Lord of Chaos on my reread, and I keep seeing mentions of people playing the bittern. Now, I've heard of a gittern, but I always thought that a bittern was a type of bird - either that, or the name of a steam locomotive or a type of salt. I've both googled it and checked Wiki...

...and reasons why authors should especially read it. :D My partner's a huuuge WoT fan and convinced me to give it a go. Well, without giving any spoilers (I've only just started book four, so please no spoilers!), I can say that I curled up on the couch and opened the first page. After a...
