Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Amazon.com Review:
Is Robert Jordan still doing the Light's work? Even loyal fans have to wonder. (And if you're not a fan yet, you'll have to read the previous 6,789 pages in this bestselling series to understand what all the fuss is about.)
Everyone's in agreement on the Wheel of Time's first four or five volumes: They're topnotch, where-have-you-been-all-my-life epic fantasy, the best in anybody's memory at the time since The Lord of the Rings. But a funny thing happened on the way to Tarmon Gai'don, and many of those raves have become rants or (worse) yawns. Jordan long ago proved himself a master at world-building, with fascinating characters, a positively delicious backstory, and enough plot and politics to choke a Trolloc, but that same strength has become a liability. How do you criticize what he's doing now? You want more momentum and direction in the central plot line, but it's the secondary stories that have made the world so rich. And as in the last couple of books, (A Crown of Swords and The Path of Daggers), Jordan doesn't really succeed at pursuing either adequately, leaving a lot of heavily invested readers frustrated.
Winter's Heart at least shows some improvement, but it's still not The Eye of the World. Elayne's still waiting to take the crown of Andor; the noticeably absent Egwene is still waiting to go after the White Tower; Perrin gets ready to pursue the Shaido but then disappears for the rest of the book. About the only excitement comes with the long-awaited return of Mat Cauthon and a thankfully rock 'em, sock 'em finale in which Rand finally, finally changes the balance of power in his fight against the Dark One. --Paul Hughes

Sadly, the pedantic prose of Book 8 creeps into this book frequently and early on in Winter's Heart. It takes quite some time for anything of consequence to take place. The return of Mat's plotline definitely helps, but the Faile/Perrin chapters are stuck in the mud and a waste of pages. It's not until the final scene (which is foreshadowed at the beginning) do we get a return to Jordan's great writing in the first four books of the series. The shifting viewpoints from all of the main players ... Read More

I give this book 3.75 stars. It was a lot better than the previous book, The Path of Daggers, which IMO, is probably one of the least enjoyable books in the series. The past few books have slowed, time-wise, and again Winter's Heart is set a few days after the conclusion of the previous book.
Not much occurred in the previous book, but I'll give a brief re-cap of some important events that did occur. One big event, in which Perrin's wife, Faile in addition to a few others of her party, ... Read More

This is not the best book of the series, but probably not the worst either. Perhaps the worst I've read so far, but still a good book. I say it's the worst so far because (and I apologize if I ruin anything for a new reader, but it happens shortly into the book) the way Jordan has made sex a large part of the story line does nothing for the story, and the way Elaine, Birgette, Min and Avienda are portrade in one chapter of the book- especialy Elaine!- is done in poor taste, with no purpose to the story ...

My wife insists on reading brand-new hard-cover books. Used books are NOT acceptable to her. To find somebody else's hair, or a crumb of food in a used book would be like finding a dead rat in the cupboard to her. Therefore, when it is possible to get NEW books at 1/3rd the price of the exact same item sold at Barnes & Nobles, it really saves $$$. Although the books are shipped via USPS media mail, she has never had to wait more than a week for a purchased book to arrive.

This is the second time I have read the Wheel of Time series through to book 11. I am enjoying each book more the second time because the wait for the next book to be written has been eliminated. Book 9 continues where book 8 left us....Perrin is faced with a challenge deeper than anything he has overcome before. Elayne is fighting for her right to be the next queen, thinking her mother dead. The story unfolds in pure genius with Robert Jordan at the helm.
With the death of Jordan last ... Read More
