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 name, not his real)....his real name is JAMES OLIVER RIGNEY, JR. Here is a link so you can read it all([...]). James Rigney (aka Robert Jordan) passed away in September of 2007 (last fall)....however there is still good news for all the readers. The whole staff and editors have the notes and spoken ideas Jordan left while in the hospital the last few days before he passed on. The Book will be named A Memory of Light! The family and editors have hired a Fantasy writer to finish the Series and last book. This Writer (Brandon Sanderson) was a personal friend, and was mentored by Jordan too over the years. He will also have Robert Jordan's wife... Harriet.. helping (she edited and helped on all the books with him). They say on their web-site that they are shooting for Late Fall or Early winter (Sept-Nov) in 2009 to have the last book in the Wheel of Time Series on the shelf. This will be called as I said Memory of Light and will be book 12 and will finish the Wheel of Time. This is what they our saying at least, and they know the book might be BIG, and very hard to get all plots and everything in place...... so the Last Battle can be fought....but they will do it, so they say. I really enjoyed all the books, and I know with all the help from his wife (who knows a man better then his wife) this will be worthy of Robert Jordan's Memory and Life.

knife of dreams
Its a typical Robert Jordan.
He has come to spending an exorbinant amount of ink describing in minutia, every new character that enters a page, regardless of their insignifcance to the story. The characters just tumble out of his pen with unlimited speed, There are now uncountable aes sedea, wards, kinfolk, seanchan, generals and nobles. There are now five venues that are in transition or are just stumbling from one day or site to the next without any seeming impact on the end game. Even when action takes place it is over in a page and the next pages are filled with the emotions, expressions or thoughts of all the innumerable bystanders. Getting to the end climax does not seem to be Jordan's aim.
If I hadn't invested
time
on 10 books waiting for an outcome I would not have continued with this book. If you are a scanner you can enjoy the book and move through the numerous and repeatative descriptions of chairs, tables, tea pots, dresses, tents, streets, dice in the mind, etc. But at last we are now enticed by the expectation of the LAST book in the series which is now being written. So trudge through this and then be ready for the up coming climax.

Best Book Yet
Of the 11 books so far in the series (not counting the prequels) this one was the best. It even had a section told from Tuon's point of view which I enjoyed more than I thought I would! I don't see how the guy who is going to finish the series since Robert Jordan died can wrap everything up in one book, but having 13 books (for the 13 Aes Sedai needed to gentle a man who can channel) in the series might work out best. One thing is certain: this book has definitely picked up the pace! 5 stars!
Another Favorite
Robert Jordan is another favorite author of mine. My husband and I adore his writing. It is so detailed and that you can see, feel, and hear everything that is going on in the book. I am anxiously awaiting the final books of the series.

The
Wheel
of
Time turns
, and Robert Jordan gives us the eleventh volume of his extraordinary masterwork of fantasy.
The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable: All are signs of the imminence of Tarmon Gai?don, the Last Battle, when Rand al?Thor, the Dragon Reborn, must confront the Dark One as humanity?s only hope. But Rand dares not fight until he possesses all the surviving seals on the Dark One?s prison and has dealt with the Seanchan, who threaten to overrun all nations this side of the Aryth Ocean and increasingly seem too entrenched to be fought off. But his attempt to make a truce with the Seanchan is shadowed by treachery that may cost him everything. Whatever the price, though, he must have that truce. And he faces other dangers. There are those among the Forsaken who will go to any length to see him dead--and the Black Ajah is at his side....
Unbeknownst to Rand, Perrin has made his own truce with the Seanchan. It is a deal made with the Dark One, in his eyes, but he will do whatever is needed to rescue his wife, Faile, and destroy the Shaido who captured her. Among the Shaido, Faile works to free herself while hiding a secret that might give her her freedom or cause her destruction. And at a town called Malden, the Two Rivers longbow will be matched against Shaido spears.
Fleeing Ebou Dar through Seanchan-controlled Altara with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, Mat attempts to court the woman to whom he is half-married, knowing that she will complete that ceremony eventually. But Tuon coolly leads him on a merry chase as he learns that even a gift can have deep significance among the Seanchan Blood and what he thinks he knows of women is not enough to save him. For reasons of her own, which she will not reveal until a time of her choosing, she has pledged not to escape, but Mat still sweats whenever there are Seanchan soldiers near. Then he learns that Tuon herself is in deadly danger from those very soldiers. To get her to safety, he must do what he hates worse than work....
In Caemlyn, Elayne fights to gain the Lion Throne while trying to avert what seems a certain civil war should she win the crown....
In the White Tower, Egwene struggles to undermine the sisters loyal to Elaida from within....
The winds of time have become a storm, and things that everyone believes are fixed in place forever are changing before their eyes. Even the White Tower itself is no longer a place of safety. Now Rand, Perrin and Mat, Egwene and Elayne, Nynaeve and Lan, and even Loial, must ride those storm winds, or the Dark One will triumph.
