The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In Lord of Chaos, the sixth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, builds his army of Light even as sworn enemies--and supposed allies--move against him.

Now ruling Tear, Andor, and Caemlyn, among other nations, Rand is recruiting all men capable of channeling to be trained as his Asha'man soldiers. The warrior Aiel clans have pledged loyalty to Rand, acknowledging him as their chief of chiefs, even though the Shaido Aiel remain a threat.

Split into two factions, the Aes Sedai of the White Tower and their rebel counterparts both seek to ally themselves with the Dragon Reborn. Rand knows all too well the manipulative nature of the Aes Sedai, no matter which side of their internal war they stand upon. But even he cannot predict just how desperate, cruel, and treacherous they can be.

And in the shadows, the Forsaken and the Dark One are conjuring even more chaos...

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Title: Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
Review: I am still reeling from that ending. And sucker for a good ending that I am, this one earns an easy five stars; it would likely have earned them anyway.It's hard to look at the book as a whole at the moment rather than just gush about that ending, and it is increasingly hard to review these without gushing in general about a bunch of spoiler material.Lord of Chaos, the sixth installment in the Wheel of Time. I remain heavily immersed in this story and world. Though it may take a little time to really sink back in when I take a multi-book break, getting comfortable again within this world is very rewarding. In fact I noticed with this book, though it was true in some if not all of the ones before it, that the Wheel of Time rewards readers for dedicating solid chunks of time to reading it consecutively; and that reward is a more immersive experience of course. I find that I enjoy Jordan's series more when I sit down and dedicate three or four chapter's time to it; rather than when I read only one, or less even, and set it down.This book had a notably slow pace in the first half or so. It did. There was scheming, and posturing, planning, thinking, talking. Politics. This was noticeable. However it really didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story. Because while the aforementioned activities may be a bit slower, they are very interesting. Especially when those things center around Rand al'Thor, as his situation at this point in the books is just so enticing to me. He has come a long, long way from the farm boy from the Two Rivers. A long way. His chapters were truly excellent in this one, and his character growth has been the most intense, and the most believable.I was also pleased to see the girls' plot lines pick up in this installment, after a few relatively major developments. For a long time it felt like Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne were treading water, and shuffling their feet. But Jordan definitely has them back on track, and is steering their sections of the story in a way that is fun to read; which wasn't always the case with them, especially when compared to events like those surrounding Rand and Mat, or Perrin. Speaking of Perrin, I was glad of his re-entrance into the story (even if it did take an entire book, and a good chunk of this one as well). Nynaeve's story arc is especially interesting to me, and is building toward big things, I think, and Jordan is fleshing her out well. At the beginning of this story Nynaeve comes across as an unlikable woman full of anger, annoying almost everyone around her. Jordan gives us a bit of understanding as to her motivations, but not a lot. Now though, spending more time with her, we get a deeper understanding of her. Of her anger. Of her drives. I'm enjoying it. Egwene also has her time to shine in this one, and seemingly will have much more time to do so in the future. Elayne has yet to grow on me much; and while I'm being critical, Rand's relationship(s) is clumsily done at best. It really is. And it's just odd. It's not as strange as it could be, given the amount of foreshadowing that went into it, but still it's odd.One more down, and eight more to go, I'm left feeling like I don't have any idea where the series will go. If that is the punch that the end of the sixth book throws.. Where can it go from here? Only one way to found out.

Title: absolutely epic!!!
Review: An unbelievable read. Each character so different and they make a real world. But no sitting by and idly describing how a curtain looks, this book is still very much a high amount of movement.

Title: Slow and steady but the payoff at the end of the book is amazing!
Review: My rating: 4 of 5 starsSo when I did research on the Wheel of Time I had expected for the story to slow down based off other readers comments. I mentally prepared for the slowdown. But even that is tough to deal with. I really, really love this story as it began in the first few books. I like the character development too, some characters have a lot of depth and the inter-relationships are fascinating. The world building is superb, rich, well described and triggers your imagination. All well and good. Here is where it's stressing me out.There is infinite marching. Right from the start in the Two Rivers in book one to even now on book six. Everyone is marching somewhere and it takes bloody long to get there. Blood and bloody ashes. And bloody ashes Light illumine the Lord Dragon the Lord Dragon this and the Lord Dragon that and Nynaeve is tugging on her braid and Mat is marching again or Rand is marching again and Egwene and all of the Aes Sedai are condescending toward men mostly Rand and no one wants to work together and some other army or group is marching form place to place and Nynaeve is tugging on her braid and folding her arms under her breasts and blood and bloody ashes Light illumine the Lord Dragon Nynaeve is tugging her braid and blah blah blah.What I am showing here is a rather poor attempt and illustrating the slowness and repetition of this part of the series. The story moves along at a snails pace. Jordan, may he rest in piece, keeps repeating sections in the text as if I never read any of the prior books and in some cases as if I never read some of the prior chapters. The tension built between the characters is very slow. It is somewhat effective as of course I still want to read on and read the next chapter and the next book, but some of character, setting and story line minutiae is too much for my brain to care and in come cases pay attention what I am reading.So I endure, hoping to find the real meat and potatoes that are in this Wheel of Time stew. Please, tell me it gets better in book 7 or 8. I've invested so much time thus far, and I really want to see this one to the end. I am told that struggling through the middle of this series is worth it and I hope that the last few Jordan books get better and I have read that Brandon Sanderson takes the lead post-Jordan's death and does supreme justice to the body of work and finishes off in a huge way that the fan base cheers him for, I just hope I can make it through the ride.Well I didn't really want to come off negative. I really do love the Wheel of Time Series and I absolutely admire and appreciate the work that Robert Jordan put into this and also what Brandon Sanderson did with the finish. I just want to get past the middle, and more to the end without walking in a snail's shoe.Addendum to my review; - A blog reader (atoasttodragons) reminded me of the end of the book so I am updating my review to include my insight on the last chapter.... Thank you atoasttodragons!!Chapter 55 ( The Last Chapter ) is the major battle scene for the book and in my humble opinion makes up for the "slowness" of the chapters 1-54. The battle between the Tower Aes Sedai, The Shaido, The Asha'man and the Salidar Aes Sedai is epic. Mazrim Taim really save's Rand's ass and I can't wait to see how this character interaction builds in the coming books. I was in awe of the Asha'man. It was very satisfying. It was especially satisfying to see the male wielder's of the true source kick some Aes Sedai ass. Throughout the entire series, there is a sense of female superiority from the Aes Sedai, to an extreme at some points. It was nice to see some balance come to the equation (Yin/Yang) - not that I think that the male half should dominate or anything, but that there should be more of an equality. Seeing the nine Aes Sedai from Saldaea swearing fealty and bending the knee to the Dragon Reborn was epic in my opinion!Overall, from when you stick with this one from start to finish, it was just another masterful installment of adventures in the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan .

Title: How to rate a continued saga?
Review: An epic continues as…it should. It builds on the greater story while (forgive my simplicity) adding enjoyment through smaller vignettes to bring color to the journey.

Review: Book 6 is far better than the last one. Feels like thing's are starting to move along when if it is slowly. Quite a lot happens in this book which is important to the later story. Not so much childish behaviour from the girls either which makes a pleasant change. Don't know if that's because they aren't in it much of maybe now they are Aes Sedai they have finally reached maturity!All together a much more enjoyable book.
