Editorial Review:

For millions of fans around the globe, the wait is over. Sequel to the international blockbuster bestseller A Crown of Swords, this epic volume continues one of history's greatest fictional journeys and the most extraordinary work of American fantasy ever published--The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and worldwide bestselling series--The Wheel of Time.

The phenomenal tale that is mesmerizing a generation of readers now continues.

The Seanchan invasion force is in possession of Ebou Dar. Nynaeve, Elayne, and Aviendha head for Caemlyn and Elayne's rightful throne, but on the way they discover an enemy much worse than the Seanchan.

In Illian, Rand vows to throw the Seanchan back as he did once before. But signs of madness are appearing among the Asha'man.

In Ghealdan, Perrin faces the intrigues of Whitecloaks, Seanchan invaders, the scattered Shaido Aiel, and the Prophet himself. Perrin's beloved wife, Faile, may pay with her life, and Perrin himself may have to destroy his soul to save her.

Meanwhile the rebel Aes Sedai under their young Amyrlin, Egwene al'Vere, face an army that intends to keep them away from the White Tower. But Egwene is determined to unseat the usurper Elaida and reunite the Aes Sedai. She does not yet understand the price that others--and she herself--will pay.

classic Conan 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is not an ambitious novel. Yet it perfectly fulfills the mandates of the sword & sorcery novel: plently of bloodshed, beautiful women, exotic warriors, and soulless necromancy. Jordan wrote it before his sprawling Wheel of Time books, and it offers the quick-pacing, thrill-a-minute style that his current series now lacks (for better or worse). I heartily recommend it; it was one of the original books that hooked me onto reading when I was a kid, and I've read it again a few times since.

Classic Conan 5 out of 5 stars.

Aside from the creator of Conan (Robert E. Howard), Jordan is the best Conan author I've read to date. He did his Conan work in the 80's before he began on his epic Wheel of Time, and they are pretty much the antithesis of each other. Jordan's Conan books are clear, concise, and to the point. Plot and background is provided (e.g. where the Necromancer in The Invincible comes from), but only enough to support the action of the novels. Fights are savage and bloody (as Conan novels should be), women are scantily clad and promiscuous, and wizards are almost always the bad guys, opposed to the muscular Cimmerian. Jordan's writing is the closest to the raw energy you can see in Howard's original stories.

Conan The Invincible is my favorite of Jordan's. It's a quick, easy read, but for all that it's really well written in a classic Conan style. Plus this is the novel where we first meet Karela, The Red Hawk, a woman bandit/warrior who appears in several other of Jordan's novels. She serves as a great counterpart for Conan. I've read this book numerous times by this point, and it always satisfies my sword and sorcery hunger.

Editorial Review:

Conan is ensnared by the charms of the wily and beautiful Karela, who is secretly the Red Hawk, fearless leader of a crew of brigands. She leads Conan to face the awesome challenge of the serpentinely evil necromancer Amanar.

Is a tortoise slow? 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 4 people found this review helpful.

From my experience with Robert Jordan and his Wheel of Time Series, I found this book slow...
I recieved no real new information to keep me interested in the series. I loved the first seven books, but eight and nine have been less than appealing. You are still wondering after these last two books how these two books got placed in the series since they give no real light on anything that led up to book seven. This book just doesn't do anything for me.

Editorial Review:

In Winter’s Heart, the ninth volume in the best-selling Wheel of Time series, the prophesied Last Battle (Tarmon Gai’don) between the Light and the Shadow is imminent. But Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, stands in the Shadow’s way. Darkfriends, Shadowspawn, and the Forsaken will try to kill Rand to keep him from fighting. The forces of Light fear that Rand will go mad and cause another Breaking of the World. Male and female magic clash to dazzling effect in the colorful tapestry that the New Statesman and Society called Jordan’s “entirely convincing and compelling alternative world.”·Winter’s Heart debuted at number one on The New York Times bestseller list in November 2000. “The Wheel of Time ... is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.” — Chicago Sun-Times

Editorial Review:

"The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow." Complete 11 Volume Series.
