DESCRIPTION:
Meh Barry This is another filler book. I believe writers can often benefit from assistance from other writers. The publishing houses put stress on them and they rush out content. The end of the book is a good climax but you can not help but wonder that so many words being used to describe what people are wearing, what they think of one another but then there is a big battle dealt with in a few pages. This was such a great opportunity to flesh out a battle. I know he is not the best at battles, it leaves a bad taste in your mou. "A big step up from the last book, but still room to improve." according to George Silano III. I wasn't wowed by Book 8 [The Path of Daggers], and neither did I revile it, as so many reviews did. I felt that it was somewhat rushed (due to its short length, and sometimes difficult-to-comprehend writing), and the least satisfying novel in the Wheel of Time series, but still a decent book in its own right, as a commentary on the aftermath effects of foreign invasion and the drawbacks of leadership positions; [The Path of Daggers] managed to move the larger story forward, though not as much as I wanted. It's for t. Thomas Miller said not the best one by far. Winter's Heart is the ninth book of the Wheel of Time fantasy series and, in my opinion, not the best one by far. By this time I'm obviously invested in the story and the characters or I wouldn't be in the ninth book of the series. That being said, this one really strained my commitment. Its a continuation of events from the previous book along with hints about events coming in the next book. In other words, it came across as a filler book in the series to me.
Part One Of Two Parts The ninth in THE WHEEL OF TIME series, WINTER'S HEART begins with Rand on the run with Min. Perrin is hunting desperately for Faile. Will the marriage that has been foretold come about? "Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal" (New York Times). With Elyas Machera, Berelain, the Prophet, and a very mixed "army" of disparate forces, he is moving through a country rife with bandits and roving Seanchan. The Forsaken are ever more present, and united, and the man called Slayer stalks Tel'aran'rhiod and the wolfdream. In Ebou Dar, the Seanchan princess known as Daughter of the Nine Moons arrives - and Mar, who has been recuperating in the Tarasin Palace, is introduced to her. Faile, with the Aiel Maidens, Bain and Chiad, is prisoner of Sevanna's sept
Not all of his subplots tie together, and fewer than usual of his vast cast of characters make a memorable impact. Devotees accustomed to this ongoing epic's increasing lack of focus will no doubt find it on target. (Nov.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, seems no nearer to fulfilling his destinyDto unite the embattled races of his domain against the Dark OneDthan he was in The Path of Daggers. Nevertheless, he manipulates the disorder of his narrative to credibly convey a sense of an embattled world on the verge of self-destruction, and he entertainingly juxtaposes the courtly civility of his villains with the precarious chaos they cause. Jordan can always be counted to ground his dizzying intrigues in solid chunks of cultural detail, and he here rises to the occasion, with chapters as dense as Spenserian stanzas with symbols and rituals.
