Praise for the

THE WHEEL OF TIME

The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the... evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.

The New York Times

Has all the breadth and depth that have made this fantasy author one of the acknowledged greats of the genre.

Publishers Weekly

His writing is distinguished... by the richness of its fabric, with all the charm and navet of the Brothers Grimm and the social/moral commentary of Huxleys Brave New World. With his well-fleshed-out characters, dark imagery, comic relief, vivid landscapes, and a fascinating sense of timelessness, Jordan has created a complex literature with a language and reality all its own.

BookPage

Throughout Jordans preeminent high-fantasy saga... the characters (minor as well as major), the world, and the source of powers have remained remarkably rich and consistentno mean feat.... Amid all the Sturm und Drang, however, is a finely tuned comic strain that both leavens the story and adds to its development. A major fantasy epic.

Booklist

Truth is not only stranger, its richer than fiction, but Jordans fictional universe approaches the variety and complexity of the real.... Plotlines [are] strummed with resonating long-wave rhythms something like Beethovens Eroica.

Robert Knox, MPG Newspapers

Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the nighta combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.

Chicago Sun-Times

In the decades since J. R. R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings trilogy was published, many fantasy writers have tried to capture the spirit of that seminal work. While many have been able to imitate the style, develop a similarly swift and complex plot, and create convincing characters, none have captured the spirit of small men and mighty, struggling against a force of overwhelming evil. Robert Jordan has.

Ottawa Citizen

Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evilbut what strikes me as most pleasurable... is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world.

Orson Scott Card

Jordan can always be counted on to ground his dizzying intrigues in solid chunks of cultural detail, and he here rises to the occasion, with chapters as dense as Spenserian stanzas with symbols and rituals.... He manipulates the disorder of his narrative to credibly convey a sense of an embattled world on the verge of self-destruction, and he entertainingly juxtaposes the courtly civility of his villains with the precarious chaos they cause.

Publishers Weekly

Jordan continues to utilize his towering imagination to construct plots of incredible ingenuity and develop themes hidden, sometimes quite deeply, in earlier installments. As ever, Jordan writes intelligently and lyricallyone of the most literary exponents of the genre.

SFX

Beware, there is magic in these books. They are liable to make you neglect your work and keep you up way past your bedtime.... This is the genuine article.

John Lee, The Suffolk County News

Jordans bestselling high-fantasy series carries on... colossal, dauntingly complex storytelling... the narrative employs elements of realism rare in high fantasy.

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Jordans characters [are] fleshed out with the strengths and weaknesses of real men and women.... Invokes the end-of-the-world milieu of Stephen Kings The Stand.

The Post and Courier (Charleston, S.C.)

Jordan writes with the stark vision of light and darkness, and sometimes childlike sense of wonder, that permeates J. R. R. Tolkiens works. His style is undebatably his own.

The Pittsburgh Press

[The Wheel of Time] will be the definitive American exploration of Tolkiens territory for many years to come. Jordan can spin as rich a world and as event-filled a tale as the master, and the presence of women and a certain sense of the comic possibilities of a high destiny add further dimension to the work.

Booklist

Jordans multivolume epic continues to live up to its high ambitions. Complex plotting, an array of strong characters, lavish detail, and a panoramic scope make this series a feast for fantasy aficionados.... Richly detailed and vividly imagined.

Library Journal

Jordans writing is clear and his vision is fascinating, as are the philosophies [that] run his characters. And speaking of characters, a more interesting bunch I would be hard put to name.

Science Fiction Review

The most ambitious American fantasy saga, The Wheel of Time, [may] also be the finest.... [It] surpasses all but a few of its peers.

Booklist

The complex philosophy behind the Wheel of Time series is expounded so simply the reader often gives a start of surprise at returning to the real world. Rands adventures are not finished and neither is this thinking persons fantasy series.

Brunswick Sentinel (Australia)

Intricate allegorical fantasy [that] recalls the works of Tolkien because of its intensity and warmth.

Publishers Weekly

Robert Jordan can write one hell of a story.... [He] keeps the suspense acute and the surprises and invention beautifully paced. Compelling. An exhilarating experience.

Asimovs Science Fiction

[The Wheel of Time is] a work of genuine and often stirring imagination.

Kirkus Reviews

For those who like to keep themselves in a fantasy world, its hard to beat the complex, detailed world created here.

Locus

Jordans talent for sustaining the difficult combination of suspense and resolution, so necessary in a multivolume series... is nothing short of remarkable.

Library Journal

Jordan has not merely put old wine into new bottles: He has clothed old bones with new flesh.

Chicago Sun-Times
