Many of the subplots advance slowly and more subplots are introduced, leaving more loose ends to tie up later. ...             The Fires of Heaven (The Wheel of Time, Book 5)242 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1994 Very good + FANTASTIC + Book five of the Wheel of Time + The Fires of Heaven             The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, Part 3)256 reviews J.R.R.

Well it is actually a lot of different questions that are not always answered in this story but just ...             The Eye of the World (The Wheel of Time, Book 1)1692 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Books, 1990 Awesome + Good Starter Book to what I hope will be an excellent series + An Eye for Glory I have read every book, the prequel, the supplement info and have to say, that I wish he was able to write more...I really don't want this series to end...I guess I can't fault anyone who does want it to end wanting closure to something, but this world was so indepth, so detailed where the cut of ...             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 ...             A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire)761 reviews George R.R. Martin Spectra, 2007 Like the novels, a review with a twist..... + Bunch of whiners! + I loved the focus on the minor characters I have to say this is the finest series I have ever read. For an intelligent, medevil soap opera it doesnt get any better. However...I am so beyond frustrated with the author. If he spent half the time he did writing in his "not a blog" or helping other authors, or whatever convention that month ...             Elric of Melnibone 1 (Elric)88 reviews Michael Moorcock Ace, 1987 The most depressing epic saga ever written (and one you should read) + Super Reader + Dark Fantasy of the Highest Imaginative Order This saga is a bad heroin trip from the first page to the end: and it is just as addictive. I had heard of the stories long before I ever read them, my friends going on and on with their references. You'd think this was written by Tolkien for all of the references and homage paid to it among those ...             Exile: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 2 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book II)72 reviews R. A. Salvatore Wizards of the Coast, 1996 Loved the trilogy + The trials of Drizzt Do'Urden continue + The Legend of Drizzt Exile + Classic Salvatore + The Underdark awaits!             Heir to the Shadows (Black Jewels, Book 2)128 reviews Anne Bishop Roc, 1999 Extraordinary fantasy + Witch Comes of Age + Absolute Must Read The Black Jewels Trilogy continues in this amazing book. It is just as memorable as the first, and isn't just a segue between the first and third books like so many trilogies today. The characters continue to develop in new ways and the setting is as vivid as ever. Bishop is a very talented writer, ...             Knife of Dreams (Wheel of Time)523 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Books, 2005 There will be a Final Book (#12 Memory of Light) to the Wheel of Time + Almost finished! + A Great Comeback + Best Book Yet             The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings, Part 2)370 reviews J.R.R.
