Lord of Chaos The Wheel of Time Book 6 Robert Jordan 9780812513752 Books

I am still reeling from that ending. And sucker for a good ending that I am, this one earns an easy five stars; it would likely have earned them anyway.

It's hard to look at the book as a whole at the moment rather than just gush about that ending, and it is increasingly hard to review these without gushing in general about a bunch of spoiler material.

Lord of Chaos, the sixth installment in the Wheel of Time. I remain heavily immersed in this story and world. Though it may take a little time to really sink back in when I take a multi-book break, getting comfortable again within this world is very rewarding. In fact I noticed with this book, though it was true in some if not all of the ones before it, that the Wheel of Time rewards readers for dedicating solid chunks of time to reading it consecutively; and that reward is a more immersive experience of course. I find that I enjoy Jordan's series more when I sit down and dedicate three or four chapter's time to it; rather than when I read only one, or less even, and set it down.

This book had a notably slow pace in the first half or so. It did. There was scheming, and posturing, planning, thinking, talking. Politics. This was noticeable. However it really didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story. Because while the aforementioned activities may be a bit slower, they are very interesting. Especially when those things center around Rand al'Thor, as his situation at this point in the books is just so enticing to me. He has come a long, long way from the farm boy from the Two Rivers. A long way. His chapters were truly excellent in this one, and his character growth has been the most intense, and the most believable.

I was also pleased to see the girls' plot lines pick up in this installment, after a few relatively major developments. For a long time it felt like Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne were treading water, and shuffling their feet. But Jordan definitely has them back on track, and is steering their sections of the story in a way that is fun to read; which wasn't always the case with them, especially when compared to events like those surrounding Rand and Mat, or Perrin. Speaking of Perrin, I was glad of his re-entrance into the story (even if it did take an entire book, and a good chunk of this one as well). Nynaeve's story arc is especially interesting to me, and is building toward big things, I think, and Jordan is fleshing her out well. At the beginning of this story Nynaeve comes across as an unlikable woman full of anger, annoying almost everyone around her. Jordan gives us a bit of understanding as to her motivations, but not a lot. Now though, spending more time with her, we get a deeper understanding of her. Of her anger. Of her drives. I'm enjoying it. Egwene also has her time to shine in this one, and seemingly will have much more time to do so in the future. Elayne has yet to grow on me much; and while I'm being critical, Rand's relationship(s) is clumsily done at best. It really is. And it's just odd. It's not as strange as it could be, given the amount of foreshadowing that went into it, but still it's odd.

One more down, and eight more to go, I'm left feeling like I don't have any idea where the series will go. If that is the punch that the end of the sixth book throws.. Where can it go from here? Only one way to found out.

Lord of Chaos The Wheel of Time Book 6 Robert Jordan 9780812513752 Books Reviews

Well I dropped this series for about 2 years before picking it up again. This was a bit of a chore to get through. Not much action happens, only snippets here and there. The women characters are still as annoying and, frankly silly, as ever. Perhaps that was his purpose, but it is really hard to like any of the women characters. When the action does pick up, it REALLY picks up and is amazing to read. If you can struggle through endless descriptions of places, clothes, palaces and the like, and get to the end, you'll be happy you did.
Its not that nothing happened... There was definitely some interesting things happening to some major characters, but for the most part it felt dragged. Some of the storylines started in this book had no conclusion or in the end seemed more than filler.

While the final chapters where amazing it never felt like the book really accomplished much.

Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve had their moments

Taim and the Ashaman were a great addition

Min grew to be a bit more likeable

This was not Avhienda’s best book

Mat didn’t really do much

Rand’s interactions with Lews where the most likeable aspects of this book regarding his character

Would had loved to see more Perrin and Loial

In the end the book did set up some interesting things... but Jordan could had accomplished the same in about two thirds of pages.
I generally really enjoyed this series. This was one of the more emotionally intense installments in the series. I thought the characters were extremely well developed and had very unique personalities. He does a good job of developing the personalities of the characters and you can generally count on them to not do things wildly out of character. As the characters grow with their experiences in the story their character/personalities develop accordingly. I also loved how well he tied things together across the various books. This series might not be enjoyable to the light/casual fantasy genre reader. It is quite long, and there are dozens of fleshed out characters that are devoted quite a bit of storytelling time. He is very descriptive and allows you to paint a very vivid picture in your mind about what is going on in the setting around the characters and their mannerisms, right down to their posture and facial expressions.
I’ve always loved fantasy adventure books, and the Wheel of Time ropes you into its massive world even more with every book.

Reading Lord of Chaos was so enjoyable that I had to get the audio book for my hour-long drive to and from work. I always wanted more; what shenanigans is Mat up to? When will Perrin show off his wolf prowess again? Rand, Egwene, Min, Elayne, Nynaeve, Aviendha, literally every character you could think of gets their share, and I love it! What I love most was the ending... a surprising twist that really gets your blood boiling, some suspenseful buildup, and a dramatic closing that leaves you feeling so satisfied that you want to scream “YES!”

And I still have 8 more books to look forward to. Oh I can hardly contain my excitement!
