Book Reviews of A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7)
Book Review: Boobs, boobs and more boobs
Summary: 3 Stars
The seventh book in this series misses the mark. Action sequences are just referenced and female bickering and clothing takes up most of this book. I am sick of reading about these interchangable women.
I loved books one, two, and three but Jordan now seems to be afraid to do anything with his characters. Nynave,Elyane and other Aes Sedai treate Mat and any helpful man horribly. Most of the female characters don't understand basic manners and dress like whores.
Women are rutinely told to run naked and are spanked and punished by other women. Jordan's obsession with breasts and beating naked women gets ridiculous. Men may enter Ruiden clothed but women must go naked. Men incure toh but are never punished women must be beaten naked. I have started hoping that some of the female characters will be killed off.
Interesting events happen but we are told of them after they pass and not in detail. Morgase's story takes an interesting turn but we are left hanging.
More time should be spent on action and less on bickering. I am worried that the rest of the series will be a disapointment.
Summary of A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7)
The eagerly awaited sequel to Lord of Chaos, The New York Times bestseller that swept the nation like a firestorm.
In this volume, Elayne, Aviendha, and Mat come ever closer to the bowl ter'angreal that may reverse the world's endless heat wave and restore natural weather. Egwene begins to gather all manner of women who can channel--Sea Folk, Windfinders, Wise Ones, and some surprising others. And above all, Rand faces the dread Forsaken Sammael, in the shadows of Shadar Logoth, where the blood-hungry mist, Mashadar, waits for prey.

Robert Jordan has created a rich and intricate tapestry of characters in his Wheel of Time series. In this seventh volume, Rand al'Thor--the Dragon Reborn--draws ever closer to the Last Battle as a stifling heat grips the world.
