You are Aes Sedai, and I am a Warder," he said in a deep, level voice. "Taking care of you is my duty." His tone softened, conflicting sharply with his angular face and bleak, never-changing eyes. "Besides, caring for you is my heart's desire, Nynaeve. You can ask or demand anything of me, but never to let you die without trying to save you. The day you die, I die." Can one like that be trusted?" Aviendha muttered. "Maybe we should be sure she cannot interfere." She examined her fist; Teslyn Baradon would see that. The woman deserved to be caught by the Shadowsouled, by Moghedien or another. Fools deserved whatever their foolishness brought. Elayne Trakand, Nynaeve al'Meara, Aviendha, and their coalition of channelers use the ter'angreal called the Bowl of the Winds to reverse the unnatural heat brought on by the Dark One's manipulation of the climate and then escape a Seanchan invasion by Traveling to Andor, where Elayne claims the Lion Throne. Rand and six thousand men prepare to Travel. Rand is nearly shot by Eagan Padros, but the would-be assassin is killed by Asha’man fireballs before he can reveal his motives. Assid Bakuun, a Seanchan commander, receives a report of an army six times their size ten miles away. He feels confident because of the damane with his army.
Most significantly, it's with this book that some of the repetitive phrases and descriptions really stand out. The smoothing of dresses and folding of arms is almost ludicrous.
Customer reviews
The Eye of the World was a turning point in my life. I read, I enjoyed. (Then continued on to write my larger fantasy novels.)” —Robin Hobb, author of the award-winning Realm of the Elderlings series Chapter 29 has three points of view, two of which are from Min Farshaw's POV. Her first is 53% of the chapter and her second is 17% of the chapter. The previous book (A Crown of Swords) had a cliffhanger in regards to Matt’s story and there is no resolution to that here because Matt is completely missing from this story. This book has even more cliffhangers than the previous one! Faile & Morgase both have a new fate, The army that is led by Gareth and Egwene going to Tar Valon has an unknown outcome, yet Robert Jordan ended the book brilliantly with the rumors in the last chapter making the reader more excited about the next book.
Fortunately, I still love the series a lot more than when I was reading the first three books. And this changes nothing. What's gotten into you, Aviendha?" Nynaeve demanded, prodding her shoulder with a stiff finger. "Do you intend to stand there blushing all day? We are in a hurry." He began chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in early April 2006. Jordan was enrolled in a study using the drug Revlimid just approved for multiple myeloma but not yet tested on primary amyloidosis.Chapter 23 has three points of view, two of which are from Rand al'Thor's POV. His first is 35% of the chapter and his second is 45% of the chapter. The only reason this doesn't get two stars is because it's a Wheel of Time book and it allows me to spend more time in this wonderful world. But if I were to be objective, it's definitely closer to two stars than three. Finally!!! Finally we have meetings and do things with the Sea Folk. I feel like I have been waiting forever for them to enter the story.
I decided to skip making a review of "A Crown of Swords" and go straight to this book, because...well, there wasn't really anything to say about ACoS. It was pretty much the same as LoC. In fact, if LoC hadn't been so doggone fat with description and pointless details, I think that it, Crown of Swords, and Path of Daggers could have been combined into two books, rather than three. The reappearance of Elyas, who gives Perrin some much needed insight into the minds of Saldean women. Without spoiling anything, I thought the beginning 1/3 of this book was fantastic, and the drama that surrounded these characters interacting with the Seanchan invasion is incredibly tense and exciting. This book is the shortest one yet, and as such the pacing is wonderfully done throughout the whole book. I was extremely worried going into this book, as it's considered by many to be where the plot really starts to hit a low point in terms of plot progression. So I put off reading this and really went in with low expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this was one of my favorite Wheel of Time books, and a wonderful addition to this series. I'll see to the Knitting Circle," Nynaeve muttered under her breath, and Elayne said, a little more stoutly, "I'll make sure the sisters are ready."
The Villains - There POV segments are usually short and super interesting and it was no different in this book as we got a glimpse into what the likes of Greandal, Moridin, Sevanna, Eladia, Alviarin, and a few others were up to. Then comes a chapter from Elayne's point of view in which we see that Aes Sedai have feelings about the Kin and the Atha'an Miere, the Kin have feelings about the Aes Sedai and the Atha'an Miere, and the Atha'an Miere have feelings about the Aes Sedai and the Kin. Then, a chapter from Nynaeve's point of view in which we see that Aes Sedai have feelings about the Kin and the Atha'an Miere, the Kin have feelings about the Aes Sedai and the Atha'an Miere, and the Atha'an Miere have feelings about the Aes Sedai and the Kin. Then a third chapter in which . . . you start to see a pattern here. A little later, Perrin has thoughts and scents about Mayeners, Tairens, Cairhienen, Faile's young followers, Aiel, Wise Ones, and more. Even later, there is series of chapters which reveal Tairens' feelings about Cairhienens and Illianers, Cairhienens' feelings about Tairens and Illianers, Illianers feelings about Tairens and Cairhienens, and all of the above's feelings about Asha'man.
As for the plot, the overall structure felt a bit like that of a TV show. Bringing closure to the Bowl of the Winds plot, Path of Daggers sees one loose end from the previous book finally resolved in the first five chapters – so the book begins with the first “episode" of the new season. To be honest, I feel like Crown of Swords should have seen the weather plot resolved; it would have made for an even better ending. Maybe that could have made some room for Mat? Still, I have been repeatedly warned that getting through books 7/8-10 can be a bit of a slog. I want to sincerely thank everyone one of you who did! After so many brilliant books, moderating my expectations was, like so often, probably the key to enjoying myself. Was it as good as the predecessors? No. Did I still love it? Yes. Among other things, there were payoffs I really enjoyed, such as Chapter 16 has four points of view, two of which are from Egwene al'Vere's POV. Her first is 35% of the chapter and her second is 60% of the chapter.New Spring · The Eye of the World · The Great Hunt · The Dragon Reborn · The Shadow Rising · The Fires of Heaven · Lord of Chaos · A Crown of Swords · The Path of Daggers · Winter's Heart · Crossroads of Twilight · Knife of Dreams · The Gathering Storm · Towers of Midnight · A Memory of Light Mat is a trendy character in the entire series with a roguish personality. Mat is a warrior because he controls a large army. Update this section! Aran’gar buries a body of someone she’s murdered outside the camp. Chesa, one of Egwene’s maids, announces the disappearance of the other two maids. Siuan notes to Egwene the oddness of the Salidar Sitters’ ages -- they’re too young. The Hall learns of the Andoran army’s arrival. Romanda and Lelaine lecture Egwene on how she should handle the meeting. Egwene feigns meekness but is secretly pleased. Someone beats Sheriam after questioning her about Egwene’s plans. Robert Jordan's work has been a formative influence and an inspiration for a generation of fantasy writers.” —Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Shadows
