    Book Review – The Shadow Rising
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Mass Market Paperback Publication Date: October 1993 As I mentioned in my review of The Dragon Reborn, the first three books in the Wheel of Time series are bit different in style and scope than the books that follow. At almost four hundred thousand words The Shadow Rising is the first of three...

    Book Review – The Dragon Reborn
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardcover Publication Date: October 1991 Being the third book in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.

    Book Review – Fall of Angels
    Author: L.E. Modesitt Jr. Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Mass Market Paperback Publication Date: July 1997 One of the nice things about Modesitt’s long running Recluce series, there are currently 15 books (and there may be a 16th in 2010) is that once you are familiar with the time line you can more or less reread the books in any order you...

    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardcover Publication Date: November 1990 Published only ten months after The Eye of the World this book is the second entry in Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.

    Book Review – The Eye of the World
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardback Publication Date: 1990 The Eye of the World is the first book in Jordan’s hugely successful Wheel of Time series.

    Book Review – Knife of Dreams
    Author: Robert Jordan Publisher: Tor Publishing Date: October 2005 Binding: Hardcover Cover Artist: Darrell K.  Sweet The eleventh book in Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, a series much criticized for unnecessarily dragging the story out.

    Book Review – Crossroads of Twilight
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardcover Publication Date: January 2003 The tenth book in Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. By this point, even when Jordan stated book twelve would be the final one, many readers have given up on the seemingly never ending series. That didn’t prevent Crossroads of Twilight from topping...

    Book Review – Mage-Guard of Hamor
    Author: L.E. Modesitt Jr. Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardcover Publication Date: 2008 Since Modesitt writes most of these in pairs I decided to dive straight into the next Recluce novel. The 15th in the overall series and a direct sequel to Natural Ordermage. Like Natural Ordermage Modesitt does not radically change his approach to the series...

    Book Review – Winter’s Heart
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardcover Publication Date: 2000 The ninth book in the Wheel of Time series. Where The Path of Daggers was a disappointment to many readers and definitely not my favourite, thing look a little better in Winter’s Heart. I liked this book a lot. It is a bit faster paced and for a miracle...

    Book Review – The Path of Daggers
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Orbit Binding: Mass Market Paperback Publication Date: 1999 The eight book in the Wheel of Time series. Published in 1998, this book is often mentioned as one of the least favourite among the Wheel of Time fans. By this point both progression in the story and Jordan’s productivity have dropped considerably....

    Book Review – A Crown of Swords
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Mass Market Paperback Publication Date: 1997 I am enjoying my reread of the later Wheel of Time books, more than I should probably. Because the first five books already had a review on fantasybookspot, I started in the middle of the series. At this point I am considering rereading those as well....

    Book Review – New Spring: the Novel
    Author: Robert Jordan Cover Artist: Darrell K. Sweet Publisher: Tor Binding: Hardcover Publication Date: 2004 On September 16th, 2007, Robert Jordan, one of the giants of epic fantasy, left us. The biographies in the back of his books said that he intended to write until they nailed shut his coffin, and from what I can tell from his blog that is exactly what he did. Despite...
