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...

If you've FINISHED reading A Memory of Light, the last book of The Wheel of Time, this is the place to post. If you haven't... STOP READING THIS THREAD NOW!!!! No sympathy for people complaining of spoilers if they read beyond this first post.

The Wheel of Time Book 14: A Memory of Light

For a long time the dominating force in US comic books has been the superhero, but latterly that has begun to change with the rise of licenced titles. That does not mean to say this is a new thing, as far back as the days if Conan comics have been drawing on other media for new titles, and who...

Just read the part where nynaeve and elayne agree to let 20 sisters teach the sea folks whatever they want in exchange for their help in using the bowl of the wind. I thought that was an example of poor bargaining. Giving the bowl of the wind to the sea folks after they use the bowl of the...

Here is the link: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/05/michael-whelans-cover-for-a-memory-of-light-revealed Too bad Whelan hadn't been doing the covers since 1990. Puts Sweet to shame. At least there are no more Rand break-dancing pictures.:D

http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/Memory_of_Light/prologue.php From the Prologue. Since WOT prologues have been clocking in at 80+ pages this is obviously only an excerpt. Thoughts? One question arose for me - at what point will the the Whitecloaks accept the fact that the last battle...

Who is your least favourite character in WOT? Mine is Padan Fain. I simply dislike him. To me, he is so disgusting. My second least favourite character is Loial. Sometimes, I do not know what purpose he serves in the whole series. He is so timid, and always reading book, and he isn't a...

new here, first post Well, I just finished A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan and now I'm a little nervous to go on to The Path of Daggers, as I have read online the next few books really start to lag. What's everyone's thoughts on the series without spoiling much? I've loved...

So I find myself in the possession of both these first books in a long serie: The Eye of the World by Robert jordan (Book One of the Wheel of Time) and Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson (Book One of A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen) And I can't decide which serie to...

TOR Publishing has just announced that the release date for A Memory of Light (which Sanderson finished about a month ago), will be January 8, 2013. January 8, 2013?:confused: Seriously? Apparently they want it to be released in the last month of the 'Year of the Dragon' in the Chinese...
