OVERALL SCORE: (A)
+ Super Reader + conan lovers will love these stories
This is a great read, it is a beautiful epic whose true force lies in the poignant details of its characters, richly detailed, woven into a wonderful tapestry. This is one of the best fantasy series, the story is lively and entertaining, the characters are colorful and interesting, and the plot is ...

The Path of Daggers (The Wheel of Time, Book 8) 1710 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy, 1999
A lot of character interaction/detail, less action
The Path of Daggers starts where the previous book, A Crown of Swords concluded. Roughly a month to a month and a half passes throughout the 8th book.
In A Crown of Swords, Rand conquerors the city/nation of Illian and kills the Forsaken Sammael. He is then named King of Illian and presented ...

A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7) 660 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy, 1997
Still strong, but Jordan begins to milk it
+ A decent addition to the series, but the cracks are starting to widen
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. ...

Conan The Triumphant (Conan) 1 review Robert Jordan
Tor Books, 1985
Super Reader
Conan this time has three women to deal with, although the first, a young nobleman reduced to trying out trulldom is easy, once he finds her employment.
The high priestess of a demon lord he is working for and does not know it is far worse.
Karela the Red Hawk just likes to compare him to any ...

The Fallon Blood 19 reviews Reagan O'Neal, Robert Jordan
Forge, 1995
A great read, and very informative about the American Rev.
+ I was iffy when i bought it, but... + For Fantasy or Non-Fantasy Fans
Michael Fallon, in the Fallon Blood, is one of the most interesting and believable characters I have found. This book covers his trials and his successes over an extended period of time that covers the American Revolution. I found the book to be very exciting and dramatic, while at the same time ...

I bought this book during it's first run in print,and found it very enjoyable. the characters had a real feel to them, and the story itself was a smoker! It would be a great thing if Mr. Jordan would write another story with Conan and Eldran! Hey, if you're reading this review Mr. Jordan, try it ...

The Conan Chronicles II (2) Conan : The Destroyer The Magnificent and the Triumphant 31 reviews Robert (R E Howard interest) Jordan
Legend, 1997
Hatest thou o' insufferable bores
+ Wizards to kill, women to save.
I think o' wise and long winded reviewers that you confuse immature with fun. Is going to the opera of the same intellectual value as riding a roller coaster, of course not. But I know which one I'd rather do. And like a roller coaster, Jordans Conans may share the same basic structure but they're ...

Conan The Destroyer (Conan) 4 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Books, 1993
Much better than I expected.
+ The best of both worlds
Coming off Robert E. Howard's original stories, I did not actually know what to expect from Robert Jordan. I have never read the Wheel of Time series, daunted by its phone-book-sized volumes and weird fantasy terminology. Howard's Hyborian Age works so well because it is both familiar and ...

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 ...

The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time 165 reviews Robert Jordan, Teresa Patterson
Tor Books, 1998
Outstanding Resource
+ A great source for WoT fans!
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 ...
