The Wheel Of Time is an epic fantasy series written by Robert jordan. Currently it consists of the first 11 books. There was due to be one final book to finish off the series.

The late Robert Jordan's Wheel Of Time series is the author's most seminal work and continues through I think it is twelve novels in all; the last to be released sometime soon. Personally I have only reached book 9 and part of the reason I have not continued past this is because, at times, the later books feel like so much hard work. ...  Read the complete review

The Wheel of Time series has got to be a fantasy of the fantasy genre, if you know what I mean. Robert Jordan has an imagination like I have never seen before and can turn anything, (like dreams) into an entire new world that seems to draw you in. The only problem with the series is that it is very long and the reader forgets more than he ...  Read the complete review

Science Fiction/Fantasy is one genre I will never tire of, there’s nothing quite like this for pure escapism. I suppose it all started at the age of fifteen when I first read “The Hobbit,” although I would class this more as pure fantasy than anything else. Over the years I’ve read widely and sometimes indiscriminately, I could go from the ...  Read the complete review

Jordan is now writing book ten - you probably want to know if it's worth starting with number one. The answer is 'probably'. I would sum up the plot for you but fanatasy fiction is by and large predictable - reluctant young hero is dragged into world events of magic and mayhem, discovering that he is the 'one' ...  Read the complete review

ahhh, books, my true love. Well, apart from the other half and my playstation, Books. What other device can conjure lands of purest fantasy and allow us full use of our imagination? RPG's and DnD may be the engines of it but creating entire worlds and people and languages are the realm of the writer and his imagination alone. ...  Read the complete review

I've loved fantasy novels since I read The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, in the early eighties. From that one book I have now collected nearly two hundred fantasy novels of which I rate Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series one of the best, easily bettering Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The Wheel of Time consists of nine ...  Read the complete review

A while ago I constantly heard how great this series of books was, I'd seen it for sale in the bookshops quite a few times but never actually thought about buying them, based upon all the recommendations however I decided to order the first book. It arrived and I glanced at it but didn't feel like reading the start of such as long series ...  Read the complete review

The world created by Robert Jordan exists on a scale that in my opinion is even bigger and more detailed than that of Tolkein. If you are looking for the current King of fantasy writing then you have almost certainaly found him. The Wheel of Time series currently stretches to 8 books with the 9th out in November I believe. I am not going ...  Read the complete review

Jordan's fame in the fantasy world is undeniable. To see his popularity one has only to go and look at Amazon.com where his forth coming title, 'Winter's Heart' is to be released in November, four months away, and yet is ranked 33 overall. Not bad. He shot to fame with the release of his Wheel of Time series. Currently it ...  Read the complete review
