“Whatever comes, face it on your feet.”

The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan

June 7, 2022 by Halbs 1 Comment

Earlier this year I read book one in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series – The Eye of the World. I gave it the ol’ five star treatment because I just enjoyed the heck out of it. While I fully intended to read one of these books every year and finish in my 50s, that didn’t happen. Instead, I waited only two months before starting book two – The Great Hunt. I enjoyed this book even more than the first! All of the origin story […]

“The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills.”

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

February 5, 2022 by Halbs 4 Comments

Even though I’m a big ol’ nerd, I have never been interested in The Wheel of Time series until recently. The new Wheel of Time show on Amazon Prime did it (all hail Rosamund Pike). My family watched it together, and once season one ended I picked up the first book of the very long series. So, I’m coming at this review from the show first and then the books. My review of the show is that it’s not for me. I’m not really sure […]

Wheel of Time – much different than the show

Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

January 18, 2022 by MarkAbaddon Leave a Comment

While I have been aware of the Wheel of Time series since the 90s, I avoided reading it as I had my fill of Tolkein wannabe stories growing up and had been generally avoiding them since then. With the series premiering on Amazon Prime, my teenager had started reading them and had been pressing me to read them but I resisted. After watching the first season, which I enjoyed greatly, I decided to give the books a shot and I am glad I did. Reading […]

I’m finally done with the Wheel of Time…..

A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

December 18, 2021 by ingres77 22 Comments

The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. there are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it […]

The Wheel of Time: Book 13 (review IX): I’m honestly too tired to string three thoughts together. This is my speed round review!

Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

November 17, 2021 by ingres77 10 Comments

Years ago, I had a brief but memorable relationship with a woman. It ended fairly amicably. Some years later we reconnected, and I was initially reminded of the good times. All those memories came flooding back, and it was exciting catching up on the years we’d been apart. And then, flushed with the realization that we ended it for a reason, I remembered how little I actually liked her. The wind was completely removed from my sails, and I limped back to safer waters. This […]

I came into this thinking Brandon Sanderson was a master. I underestimated him – the Wheel of Time: Book 12 (review part VIII)

The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

September 26, 2021 by ingres77 3 Comments

I’m entering a new era in this series, and want to start this review with some thoughts unencumbered by the knowledge of how thinks change. This is the point at which The Wheel of Time turns to the better, according to everyone I’ve ever talked to who has finished it. Following the death of Robert Jordan in 2007, his widow and editor, Harriet McDougal, selected Brandon Sanderson to finish this series based partly on his novel Elantris and partly on a eulogy written by Sanderson […]
