Love this series. Sick of every highly rated novel I pick up ending up being a young adult book. Jordan was a master story teller. His style pulls you right into his rich world, and you're pulled along and every which way as the story branches in different directions, then converges again, never losing track, always keeping you engaged. Truly masterfully woven. One thing I love is an author who creates new names that fit his world, as Jordan has done. The naming of the characters fit the regions they hail from in his world. If characters have names I've heard over and over in my own world, it seems to be a blaring indication that the author hasn't much imagination, which usually reflects in an average, shallow story. Jordan is none of that. This book carries the story forward as well as the first and second, and I'm eager to begin devouring the fourth. The story is as strong in each volume as in the first. Highly recommend to serious readers.

The Wheel of Time Boxed Set I Books 13 The Eye of the World The Great Hunt The Dragon Reborn Robert Jordan 9780812538366 Books Reviews

Many compare this series to Lord of the Rings. They are similar in both being about journeys and adventure. However, I don't see much more in that comparison.
I love The Lord of the Rings as should be no surprise for such a long lived, popular classic. My one issue with it being the lack of female characters. The Wheel of Time gave me strong, important female characters that I could not only root for, but also identify with. In addition, the entire series was well written and very entertaining.
I was sad and knew I would miss the characters when I closed the last book.
I enjoyed this book, though slightly less than the previous two books in the series. I think the story suffered a bit from not having Rand front and center. It is hard to understand the changes in his character, I know that there is a taint on Saidin, which may explain some of his irrational behavior, but I feel like it could have been a more gradual change, and that it would be easier to understand if we got more of his pov in this book. I would have liked to have seen how Rand went from being terrified of being labeled the dragon, to being 100% on board with it, without it feeling so disjointed. I was also annoyed by the stupidity of some of the other characters. In particular, when Perrin, or Mat, or Egwene see Rand in Tear, they all write it off as a figment of their imagination, but why!?! With everything that they have experienced, why would they be surprised at anything at this point. Egwene has been told she has the gift of Dreaming, so why does she dismiss her dreams so easily? And Perrin and Co. are in Tear to look for Rand, so why is he so surprised to see him?

Aside from those few things, though, I am really enjoying the overall story. Things are really beginning to happen, we are beginning to meet more of the Forsaken, the Black Ajah is doing its thing. Everytime it seems Rand has beaten Shaitan, it turns out that is not the case. With 11 more books to go in the series, I am sure there are many more false victories to go, but I am enjoying the ride, and I can't wait to see what will happen in the true last battle, Tarmon Gai'don.
With this book I started to feel what many reviewers who have read the entire series (I have not) complain about each new book has less and less new developments. In The Dragon Reborn the plot really bogs down. Very little happens till the very end and it (in my opinion) is not very satisfying.
Two thirds of the book is made up of the characters traveling from place to place crossing and crisscrossing the same places, visiting the same cities. All the seemingly endless pages of travelling were really drawn out, I mean, really long winded stuff and not necessary.
The main character and by far the most interesting one practically disappears during the whole book, and only reappears at the very end. I really thought the third book would delve into his psychology because of the consequences of his, shall we say, gift?
Add to this endless repetitions and summaries of things already explained in the first books and the fact that the characters have settled down to a few stereotyped personality traits, and you have a third installment which doesn't live up to the first two. I mean, I already know that Nynaeve is stubborn and short tempered or that The Warder doesn't show much emotion or that Perrin is ashamed of his “capabilities” is it really necessary to explain it every single time each character reacts to some particular situation? At the same time, the female characters, while they grow stronger, get very cocky and rude for no apparent reason other than they are convinced of their own greatness and importance in the Pattern. They seem to have development a personality problem of some kind. Whats that about?
At least for me, the climax of the book was kind of a letdown. All is achieved very easily after 500 pages or so of explaining how difficult achieving it would be. And nothing much is explained at the end.
The Dragon Reborn did not actually bore me because the plotline is still very interesting and original. Buuuuuuuut in my opinion it falls way behind the first two books of the series.
