Knife of Dreams (Wheel of Time)

Wasn't too keen, but got "KNIFE OF DREAMS" from a Book Club recommendation and have been absolutely gripped with the storyline, and Tolkien-style maps and characters. Loved it.

Prompted by the reviews of my fellow readers, I set out to re-read the whole Wheel of Time series (Including the prequel New Spring) before opening this 11th instalment. I think it is the best thing I could have done, because I thoroughly enjoyed the whole story and did not have to dwell on the history of various caracters.

This book does give the impression that the end is getting near and it will be fulfilling to read the conclusion of this epic. The best advice I can give to anyone intending to read Knife of Dreams: do yourself a huge favour and read (all!) the previous books. You will then get so much more satisfaction out of this one!

I gave book 10 1 star. I approached this one with some trepidation, as I was anticipating more of the same dreariness, but lo and behold I found myself enjoying it and by the time I finished I breathed a great sigh of relief. It was MUCH better.

Reading some of the previous readers' reviews I'm getting the impression that RJ may be thinking of extending the series to more than 12 books. Oh I hope not. Please, please, please let the next be the last so we can all move on and get a life.

I write this with great sorrow for Robert Jordan and his family, it is a true loss to the world. i am a huge fan of this mammoth series and i could never understand the criticism he got for some of his books when to me it was so blatently obvious that he was just telling a masterful story and setting up new plots which wove with great intracy. i just hope that his life work gets finished in memory of light and be written as he would have liked it.my advice to people thinking of reading these books is that to not start reading and expecting action and battle's every book. my final message is may you shelter in the palm of the creators hand.

The Wheel of time series is a truly vast body of work. The plot which began fairly typicaly with a small group of key characters and a fairly clear set of objectives has broadened over the course of the seies into a mess of tangled subplots weaving around the core storyline and its primary supporting threads. This made it at times difficult to follow and lately has meant that the core plot lines failed to progress at any pace in each book.
At last though, the many and various plot lines are begining to converge once more towards a single goal. The end is comming into view and the subplots are reaching their resolutions one by one.
I particularly liked the thread about Matt in this one as over the latter half of the series he has become my favourite character. Perrin finaly makes some progress, which is nice, and Egwene realy shines.
This book has restored my excitement about a series which I had all but lost interest in. I look forward to the next book and the eventual conclusion of the series.
