Robert Jordan has created a rich and intricate tapestry of characters in his
Wheel of Time series. In this seventh volume, Rand alThor--the Dragon
Reborn--draws ever closer to the Last Battle as a stifling heat grips the
world.
Personal Review: A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book
7) by Robert Jordan
I have got to say, reading review after review listening to people complain
about how slow the books are, or how tired they are of the characters has
driven me to finally write my own review. Yes, the books are sometimes a
bit slow, but arent all books that way? If Jordan wrote these books with non
stop action, would the important scenes really stand out anymore? This is
a fantasy series, not a Jean Claude Van Damme flick.
Robert Jordan has created by far the most original and creative world
that I have ever seen on print. You can get a feeling for the way people

live, friendships, trusts, and relations between many many characters. It is
not the cliche fantasy where the whole world is in peril, and 4 or 5 people
band together alone and save humanity. This series throws you into an
ocean of characters, story and imagination, and then all but drowns you
with creativity and originality.
One good point I would like to make: yes, the woman all drive me crazy, I
wish Nyneave would leave her braid alone, and all leave their skirts alone.
I wish they were all nice and sweet to Mat all of the time too. However, that
isnt the story. That would not represent the characters they way that they
are supposed to be interpreted. The girls are meant to be naggy, arrogant
and annoying at points. No appreciation for men is a massive plot point for
this entire series. Look, this series is meant to place you into a world and
submerge you in story. If the characters just changed traits because it was
old now, or boring, or aggravating would that make any sense? Jordan
stays true to his characters which is not necessarily true about other books
or series.
So in closing, yes the books can be slow, and dull at points, but they are
what you make them. If you are reading for only the highpoints you will not
enjoy these books, and more than likely not fanatsy at all. Try reading from
a different persepctive. Take in what he is saying, when he describes
something, imagine it. That is how Jordan meant for us to read it, as surely
he had a mind full of creativity, and knew his world very intimately. This
series is meant to be read slowly, and appreciated so try another
perspective, and give it another chance.
