Crossroads of Twilight (The Wheel of Time, Book 10)

2417 reviews
Robert Jordan

Amazon Remainders Account, 2002

Not as bad as I thought it'd be
3.5 stars. The events in the beginning of this book, told from Mat, Perrin, and Elayne's perspective, occur simultaneously with the ending scene of the previous book, Winter's Heart. The last several books, beginning with A Crown of Swords, have slowed down time-wise considerably with events occurring a few days to a week after the conclusion of a prior book. Therefore, the plot also slows ...

Very good
4.5 stars. This is the 5th book in the Wheel of Time series, and about 1.5 years have passed since the villagers of the Two Rivers left their home with the Aes Sedai Moiraine and her Warder Lan. Since the ending of The Shadow Rising, about 2 months have passed and it is now late summer in the Wheel of Time world. The Shadow Rising ended with Rand uniting half the Aiel clans and capturing ...

Still strong, but Jordan begins to milk it
While I rate this book highly, this is the first book in the series where I really began to feel that the story was being stretched out deliberately to yield more books in the future. Many of the subplots advance slowly and more subplots are introduced, leaving more loose ends to tie up later. Don't get me wrong, this is still a wonderful book and worth your time. If you're a fan of the ...

There will be a Final Book (#12 Memory of Light) to the Wheel of Time
I though Knife of Daggers was on of the better ones in the Series. Jordan got back to the basics of what made all of his readers Love the Wheel of Time. I DO HAVE VERY BAD NEWS, BUT ALSO GREAT NEW FOR WHEEL OF TIME READERS, AT LEAST WITH REGARDS TO HIS FINAL BOOK #12. Please read the following passage all readers need to know both bits of information. Robert Jordan (this is his publishing ...

Still a great series
Even though a lot of people are getting tired of Robert Jordan's series and feel it's just a money making waste of paper and ink (money making, perhaps- stretched a bit, maybe- but NOT a waste)I feel that the way he gives finite detail is a lost art in story telling. I am remanis of the "Left Behind" series which did indeed(and VERY unfortunatly)become a money making scheme for the authors. My ...

Tor Fantasy, 1990

Great in every sense of the word!
The Eye of the World is one of the most addicting books I have ever read. This is the first great book in a series of great books that will always leave you wanting more and thankfully, Robert Jordan delivers! If you have ever read a great story but wished there could have been more to it then you need look no further. Just be warned that once you get started in this series you may become ...

News about Jordan, and his Last Book in the series.
I enjoyed all his books, I have read all published books to date (Books 1-11) I say keep reading, even though sometimes Jordan rambles on, and such, even what some say is a Average/Poor book from his. It still is head and shoulders about all written Series save a hand full on equal par. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE VERY BAD NEWS, BUT ALSO GREAT NEW FOR WHEEL OF TIME READERS, AT LEAST WITH REGARDS TO HIS ...

The Shadow Rising (The Wheel of Time, Book 4)

Robert Jordan

Tor Fantasy, 1993

Best book in the series
The Shadow Rising is the fourth Wheel of Time novel and, through the highly scientific method of checking a few fan-forums, appears to be regarded as the best. At a whopping 1,000 pages and just shy of 400,000 words in length, it's also the longest. The Shadow Rising picks up after the events of the third book. Anyway, Rand al'Thor has taken the Sword That Is Not A Sword, Callandor, The Sword ...

The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2)

Robert Jordan

Tor Fantasy, 1991

A good read by WOT standards,
Many of the characters improve in Book 2, after the rather silly last 200 pages of book 1. It starts with a very edgy prologue, and then is essentially a story of the hunt for the horn. The story starts to get more interesting in the second half as Nynaeve develops as an interesting character. Moiraine plots as always. Rand grapples with his problems. The Seanchan introduction in the last half ...

Not bad
I didn't get this book untill I had all the other books. This one I liked more then some of the other becasue the books not so big, I dont like to set a book down untill I am done reading. Now just waiting on the last book. I wonder how wierd its going to be to read a book from the same series but diffrent auther.

Awesome
I have read many other fantasy series and I have to say that none of them kept me entertained or more interested than this series...Lord of the rings was a good story..but this series goes above and beyond for me..Dune was a great series with great characters...but to me..there are so many wonderful characters in this series that I get immersed in each time I read the series anew...I havenow read ...

New Threads in the Pattern: The Great Hunt, Part 2 (The Wheel of Time, Book 2)

Robert Jordan

Remember the Audience!
You can't take this as a whole for a Jordan work. It's meant to open up the series to younger kids, not be just half of the Great Hunt. The same goes for all of these shorts.

Winter's Heart (The Wheel of Time, Book 9)

Tor Books, 2002

What a buy!
My wife insists on reading brand-new hard-cover books. Used books are NOT acceptable to her. To find somebody else's hair, or a crumb of food in a used book would be like finding a dead rat in the cupboard to her. Therefore, when it is possible to get NEW books at 1/3rd the price of the exact same item sold at Barnes & Nobles, it really saves $$$. Although the books are shipped via USPS media ...

Robert Jordan

Starscape, 2002

A Gentle Introduction to the Series
The late Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" has been one of the most successful franchises in the fantasy genre. The series has now grown to eleven tomes and one novella, with the last one due in the near future. The Wheel of Time enjoys a very large, and very dedicated, following. Countless websites, forums, and messageboards across the web are dedicated to the series. Fans discuss, debate, and ...

Tor Fantasy, 1995

Take the time to take it all in!
I've noticed some people complaining that this book, and even this series altogether, moves slowly due to the overuse of details. I'll admit that if I didn't want details, then whatever I did, I wouldn't read Robert Jordan or Frank Herbert or anyone else that set a higher standard for sci-fi / fantasy writing by providing dedicated READERS with what they wanted; DETAILS! Robert Jordan could have ...

Robert Jordan, Teresa Patterson

Tor Books, 2001

Outstanding Resource
I wish I had had this book from the beginning of the Wheel of Time series. I try to put a little time between the books, so I often had to thumb through the previous books to remember different characters and things that happened. By the time I reached number 9, it was a real chore. That sparked me to find out if there was a companion book for the series. Well, there is, and it's very ...

The Wheel Of Time: The Shamans Of Mexico Their Thoughts About Life Death And The Universe

Washington Square Press, 2001

One of several paths of widsom
This is a collection of wisdom gathered from North American natives. It is just as profound as the more well-known eastern paths (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, etc.). Central is the image of the Warrior: one that sees, not just looks, one whose intentions and goals are clear. A bit like Japanese samurai. They look for the stable and constant, they are not interested in the fleeting. A Warrior ...

Great Calendar
This calendar is great for any Robert Jordan fan. Some of the digital art prints could have been done better but many of the pictures are top notch.

All 11 Books
I have read all 11 of the Robert Jordan books [[ASIN:0765344939 The Wheel of Time (Boxed Set #3)books and enjoyed them greatly. My one frustration is the time between books and the need to try and catch up on the various groups of people and the current state of events surrounding them by the time the next book comes out. I fear that Jordan may leave us before the completion of this epic ...
