The Wheel of Time: Complete Set of 14

Product Information

Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He served two tours in Vietnam (from 1968 to 1970) with the United States Army as a helicopter gunner. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. After returning from Vietnam he attended The Citadel where he received an undergraduate degree in physics. After graduating he was employed by the United States Navy as a nuclear engineer. He began writing in 1977. He was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting. He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian and received communion more than once a week. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797. I stopped reading it at some point, when I realized that little progress was being made toward an eventual ending, but the early books in the series will always hold a special place in my heart. And with Jordan's passing the series will never come to resolution. But perhaps it shouldn't - the books all open and close with the wheel of time, and the notion that there is no beginning or end. Nonetheless, fantasy lost one of its giants today. Rest in peace. When I was reading this book series everything was full of ups and down. When I started to read the book, it lead me to other and then to other. For the whole series I'll rate the complete book series as 4 stars. There are many thoughts about the whole series. It really is a good book fantasy fiction series.

I wish the story could have continued, I was very excited to read about Mat and the daughter of the nine moons however id rather have not spent three books for the bowl of winds that never got to do much.

dalilllama on Five SF Visions of Society Free From Rules, Regulations, or Effective Government 57 mins ago This one is a bit shorter. Is Mr. Jordan getting tired? As much as I love the millions of details, I'm getting exhausted... I heard about these series many years ago, way before I read "The Game of Thrones" (GoT). I figured as a writer, I should read "The Wheel of Time" as a great example of world development. I have a lot to learn... Yet, GoT HBO series was in some ways an improvement over the book -- the stories were tightened up; many characters were combined; unnecessary details removed altogether. I will NOT be reading the last book of GoT if it ever comes out... Okay, this is where I've invented the term Peril Loop -- a continuous series of bad events that happen to the main character in a story -- and Peril Loop Fatigue — how the reader feels when too many improbable bad events happen to the main character one after another in a continuous barrage of peril. Book 4 is where I almost stopped reading these series several times. Enough is enough!!!! Condition: New.

September update: finished series, was about 3/4 way through book 11 when I heard that Robert Jordan has passed away. Very sad, I suppose everyone leaves with things left undone but it seems particularly sad that RJ didn't get a chance to personally finish telling this story to all his many readers. I read that he left notes and outlines with his family so I guess it'll be up to them now. Tyler Dean Gothic Rot and Retribution: The Fall of the House of Usher’s Unsettling Approach to Poe’s Work 4 hours ago Molly Templeton Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega Are Probably Going to Have a Very Bad Weekend in A24’s Death of a Unicorn 5 hours agoAuthor Robert Jordan created an expansive world, a sophisticated system of magic, and an epic storyline that draws from European and Asian mythology. After Jordan's death, The Wheel of Time series was completed by Brandon Sanderson, following Jordan's wishes for the finale. This adaptation has been in the works since 2017; like so many things, it was delayed by the pandemic. The first season will be eight episodes, and most—though not all!—of those titles have been revealed. The show’s sprawling cast includes Josha Stradowski (playing Rand al’Thor); Marcus Rutherford (Perrin Aybara); Barney Harris (Matrim Cauthon); Zoë Robins (Nynaeve al’Meara); Madeleine Madden (Egwene al’Vere); Alexandre Willaume (Thom Merrilin); Hammed Animashaun (Loial); and many, many more.

I want to start this review by being very explicit -- don't start unless you have the time to finish in one go (over many months). There is so much detail and so many characters (all sounding similar) that it would be difficult to get through without an online guide...or if you just give up caring. I find it hard to describe why I fell in love with this series, now close to 20 years ago. It has been part of my live for so long, that it will be strange when the last book finally will be released in 2013. Jordan, Robert, 1948-2007 [James Oliver Rigney Jr.] ; Patterson, Teresa. ; Hamilton, Todd Cameron. [maps and ornaments by Ellisa Mitchell and John M. Ford, maps by Thomas Canty; Darrell K. Sweet] Winter's Heart: Book 9 of the Wheel of Time: Book 9 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series): 9/12I hate the bloody White Cloaks, a lot of the endless Perrin/Faile story, Nynaeve tugging her braid for the umpteenth time, the When will this end?! I love long books...but this is too much! And things are getting muddled. The story is getting lost in the details... Who are these people?!! Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. However, "like his father and grandfather," he preferred not to advertise, possibly because of the negative propaganda against Freemasonry. In his own words, "no man in this country should feel in danger because of his beliefs." I fell in love with this magical world Robert created many, many years ago. I have just finished rereading the entire series again. I am currently watching the TV series, whilst it is good it is not as good as the books.

Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuth The first few books of this series are at the top of my list as some of favorite books ever. Yes- the series does get LONG and somewhat bogged down later, but I love it anyway. There is light at the end of the tunnel with only one more book left to be published. It has been a wonderful- enjoyable ride.

Read the first three and stop. Its a great standalone trilogy and I think was intended to stop there until the money making possibilities were realized. Robert Jordan was one of those authors who got me into the genre of epic fantasy. The stories were wonderfully crafted, the characters remarkably memorable, and the ideas often innovative. I have very fond memories of long hours reading this series. Condition: new. Anniversary. Book is in NEW condition. Satisfaction Guaranteed! Fast Customer Service!!. I guess it is the scope, the epicness of it all, I like the world, and the fact that there was this Age of Legends, I love the Rhand/Lewis Therin thing, I like the magic system, I like the Forsaken as bad-guys, I like Taveren and the fact that everything is connected and intertwined, I like Matt, Lan and Nynaeve after she stops tugging her braid.
