Where is there balance in evil? People being killed, tortured, or raped or any number of things- evil is chaos. It fundamentally is not balance at all- but the opposite- meant to unbalance all that is. That's something I never understood from the sort of yin and yang philosophy. Evil isn't a...

I just feel like I fundamentally disagree with its message. Good is still great without evil. Evil is merely the absence and/or perversion of that which is good. I also think it forces the message by making good things be seen as "bad"- in order to force an inaccurate narrative. It's no small...

I understood it- I just wonder if I philosophically disagree with it. I'm not sure myself- but I think it's perfectly healthy to question things.

I have finished it. I will stand by my "great" rating. (5 out of 7) Though the ending philosophically bugs me. Things to ponder on- would good feel empty without evil? I am not sure I agree with that. I also worry it goes over dramatic with its definition of evil to fit that narrative. All the...

Another major death happened. But he took the Foresaken with him. All I will say on that part. This book is making me actually cry. Between this and the possible worlds seen, I am tempted to give a 6. But sticking to my 5 so far.

So a certain Aes Sedai just died. Those who read it, know who. The one who died after briefly getting another Warder to replace her dead one. Even with knowing the spoiler (I learned this spoiler by accident during my reading of book 10. Damn Dragonmount.. it's why I quit going there within the...

this book keeps pushing it. It's just a series of battles, so I'm trying to be generous, but it keeps dipping down to being just good (a 4), but then a great moment happens and it plays with being great (a 5)... either way, it is DEFINITELY not a 6 nor a 7 so far. Just not entertaining enough...

This is bothering me. I am on chapter 34 and rand is in the blackness and talking to the dark one. But I don't remember seeing the end of his fight with Mordin! I could have sworn that I have been reading every single page, so how did I miss the ending to that fight? I remember reading them...

I definitely would be interested if they did. Alas, Jordan's unfortunate loss means we likely never will.

Shara's rise into battle is awesome! Glad to have more than just the Dreadlords lead by the newest forsaken (which is an awesome addition btw!) to assist the shadow. The light winning is more glorious if the shadow puts up a good fight (other than just the age of legends's forsaken survivors...

On chapter 12 of the final book. Getting very angry that they are taking so long to address the black tower. I get that them doing so much helps balance the final battle (otherwise, the protagonists were winning too much up until now), but it's the final book, get on with it already! 12...

Really? I actually didn't notice that at all. Jeez, they seemed to all be happening in real time in all the books I read, so I guess it just slipped for me. I figured that anytime it goes to another character, sometimes it's immediately after the last one, or sometimes it rewinds slightly but...

Book 13 gets a 6, same as Dragon Reborn. Borderline a 7, very tough call to make. But the early first half felt like a 5, thus overall it is a 6. Also, I Dare not risk saying spoilers. How fitting this was so difficult to judge, as this was easily the longest book in the series. I solemnly swear...

Dont know what you mean so maybe it is passed me. In any case, I am now at the scene where Nynaeve is trying to heal Rand's madness. Consistently, Nynaeve under Sanderson's pen has become my favorite female character so far. Arguably more so than Jordan's Elayne and Min...which is REALLY saying...

I disagree- this book has the pacing that is very tightly done- arguably faster than necessary in some places but ultimately a tightly wound book of perfection, really. This is the kind of pacing every book should have had all along, maybe even SLOWER than this book even, though I am not...

I vastly prefer the way the Gathering Storm is written. On Chapter 34 (1/4th left of the book) and while content wise it is merely a good book that is pulling thingd together and wraping up plotlines and not much more.. it is better written than anything Robert Jordan ever wrote. The writing...

Well, Elayne has the thrown now. But just like the rescue of Faile- this should have already happened in Winter's heart. Both plotlines were the biggest thing holding back Winter's heart from being a masterpiece. Because the plot lines for both were dragged on far too long and should have both...

Alright, so far I like that Tuon is finally beginning to respect Mat after she has now met the Band! Really well done! I like how bold Egwene is, even if I would rather have skipped all her scenes thus far. I admit though: at long last, Egwene could clear things up with the former King of...

I've been reading knife of Dreams somewhat slower because I've been busy a lot. That said, I have reached chapter 22 and there's no signs of this book having anything happened so far. 1/3 of the book left and basically NOTHING has happened. This is...bad writing. The series seems to have a...

We all have our different opinions. Honestly, I plan to look back at them again once I have finished the series! For now, these are just my opinions on my first read!
