So I'm reading the 4th book (I'm just in page 100, and I don't have much free time nowadays so I stopped)
but I'm curious to know if anyone else has read at least one of these books and what they think about it.
I really liked the 1st book, well although it is obvious how the things were going to happen, I mean just look at the 3rd book's title

oh and I'm sorry about my english, spanish is my 1st and italian my 2nd language

I'm actually rereading the series now (on the 5th book), haven't read them in 3 years or so, my memory of the later books is not that good.

The Shadow Rising is one of my favorite books in the series though (probably my favorite), there are some really good parts in the book.

If you like the series keep reading, at least get a bit further into the volume you're reading now ^_^

haha, they are way too long...it was interesting at first, but sorta got bored around book 6 and stopped reading it. I think the first few books were pretty good.

The wheel breaks because they realize that a wheel will not function properly when it is made out of time.
Trust me, I had a Car Of Time, same thing.

your English is good actually. I've not read the books myself but I'm really looking forward to hearing what you thought about them. Keep me posted!

It is a great series. A lot of people think that it gets too drawn out in the later books, and that may be true but the story in general makes up for how those those couple books are laid out.



I can't wait for the 12th book, regardless of the fact that Jordan isn't the main writer.. I need to start re-reading the series, my memory is cramming Rand al'Thor and Richard Rahl together into the same character lol.

True, it does get a bit drawn out, but not enough to sour the reading.

Well I'm about to finish the Shadow Rising, too bad the later books aren't in the book stores here, so I will have to ask a friend who is going to the USA next month to buy me another one hehe

I think I really liked the 4th book , it is as entertaining as the 1st one :D

I enjoyed reading them, they're not amazing, but a good dumb read when I'm in the mood for something that doesn't require me to think.
