The Wheel of Time
Posted by Don Dueck on June 24, 2007
I finished the second book of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series last night. Man, what a good series so far! That guy really knows how to write. The story is epic in scope, but manages not to get dry and dull like the final third of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. If you enjoy fantasy novels, you cannot miss this series.

Great job! Isn’t it wonderful?
You’ll love the next one, the Dragon Reborn.
They’re all fantastic!
I’m eagerly awaiting his final book, which is probably going to be called A Memory of Light.
He has also mentioned several times that he plans another fantasy series set in a different kind of world.
He has said that it will be a Shogun-esque series about a man in his 30s who is shipwrecked in an unknown culture and world.
The books will detail his adventures there, and will be titled “Infinity of Heaven.”

I too find LOTR a bit hard to push through.
If you like Robert Jordan you’ll love George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. Top notch.
