Book Reviews of A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7)
Book Review: This is becoming painful ...
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first started this series of books sometime back in another age that became myth and then became legend (etc. etc.) I really enjoyed them. It's hard for me to believe that now. I have just finished this one (at least 4 more to go - argh!!) and it is the most tedious so far. The only way I could get through it was by literally skimming the pages (sometimes *skipping* the pages), stopping at the very rare bit that looked like it might catch my attention. Usually I was wrong though and it was not worth stopping and I could get back to skimming. My wife doesn't know why I persist and at this stage I'm not sure myself - just stubbornness I suppose. And at the heart of it I like the story. If only he had made a trilogy instead of a 12(or so)-ology of it.
I don't even know why I'm writing this review - if you have got this far in the series, there's a good chance you'll feel obliged like myself to try and finish it. But don't feel like you're missing much if you read it like I did - skimming over 90% of it :)
Maybe someone sometime will make a single summary novel out of it and it may become an enjoyable read again :)
P.S. I have to agree with most people on Nynaeve, I almost wish the gholam had got her in this book ...
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.
