The Wheel of Time

Anyone else read this great fantasy series? In my opinion, it rivals Lord of the Rings for best fantasy series of all time. If you haven't read them, I highly recommend them. Start with the first book, The Eye of the World and proceed from there.

If I hear one more person tell me I should read Jordon's Wheel of Time series....... I might just have to do it!

I´ve read every book in the Wheel of Time up to The Crown of Swords. I´ll get to The Path of Daggers soon. I am amazed by all the details that are in the story. I also think it is an interesting concept and good character developments. anduin, you should try and read it . It is worth it.

I've read it...well, the first book anyway. I agree about the rivaling LotR, I thought it was really good...

Is that where you got your name from?

Oh, my God! Wheel of Time is THE best fantasy series there is. It is THE number one fantasy series out there. There is nothing that compares to it.

excuse me? This is a Tolkien board! LOL

Yes, One Ring, that would be where...

Rob Hal is here? That should increase the post count quite a bit. Elaida, once you finish the series you may want to choose another name.... she gets pretty nasty as the books go on.

Yes but Elaida is now a weak person. She will not have much more influence in ther series. She is controlled by Alviarin who is controlled by Mesanna (presumably).

And about me increasing the post count....I 've only posted about 5 times in the last three weeks so HA!

And plus, I never read Tolkien...he...he..he...

To anybody who enjoys the Wheel of Time:
Please visit my WOT board. The link is in my sig.

I just did.... I seem to be the first one to post there.

I finished The Path of Daggers yesterday. I thought it was much better than book six and seven. So now I have started to wonder what will happen next.

Does anyone know how many books Jordan intend to write in the Wheel of Time series?

Currently, it's supposed to be about twelve. Of course, when Jordan started, it was supposed to be just five, but obviously that's changed.... at least 12 will be required, in my opinion, maybe more.

Thanks.

I agree that at least four more books are needed to the series.

I had read that there are supposed to 13 books in all, though I haven't heard an update in some time, and since I have recently moved, I have lost a lot of my old information sources.

Welcome to Entmoot, TheRobRoy!

The Wheel of Time series, imo is second
only to LoTR. It is an excellent read.

What also sets WOT apart from many other
books in the genre, are his strong female
protagonists...both heros and villains.

But even his heros (male and female) have
their bad moments and irritating character
traits, lol!

WoT is definitely the second best fantasy series ever next to LotR. The next book, Winter's Heart, is coming out in November. They also have an AWESOME game based on the books powered by an enhanced Unreal engine. The learning curve is a little steep, but once you get the hang of the 40+ weapons (offensive and defensive) you'll learn to appreciate the full complexity of it. It's got a devoted online community as well, and most of the people who play the game also post on the forums at www.wheeloftime.com, the official site.The creator of the game, Glen Dahlgren, still plays WoT online and posts on the message board occasionally, which says alot as well. The online multiplayer experience is hands down the best of any computer game available today, and it's single player side (which is set 200 years before the books) has an rpg-like quality to it with an involving storyline. Plus, you can get it for like $20 or $30... my name there is Glaurung too

I just started the first book. I'll let you know how I like it.
