Knife of Dreams (The Wheel of Time, #11)

And so I've completed my last Robert Jordan book in a while. And a great one it was. I didn't quite feel that it was on the level of the early great ones like The Eye of the World, The Shadow Rising and Lord of Chaos, but it definitely takes the pace up after three almost disappointingly mediocre books.
In Knife of Dreams, interesting things start happening again, and we start moving towards a conclusion. I'm in doubt whether that's actually a positive thing, seeing as that means this all has to end...
Now it's up to Brandon Sanderson to determine whether this series will pass A Song of Ice and Fire as my second favourite fantasy.

#10 Crossroads of Twilight
#11 Knife of Dreams
#12 The Gathering Storm

#14 A Memory of Light

"“I’ve done dark things in service to the Light,” gaunt-faced Byar said grimly, his deep-set eyes glittering as though at a personal insult, “dark as moonless midnight, and likely I will again, but some things are too dark to be allowed.”
Wow! The awesomeness of this quote nearly made up for Byar's general disgustingness."

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
Once more, the lovely feeling of finishing a 100+ page Robert Jordan prologue and casting my eyes on a few familiar words..."

Ah, yes. The three books ahead are the slowest. The things I've loved the most about this series are the writing and the setting, and they of course don't disappear, but the plot development in those books is virtually non-existent.
Surprises as in twists or revelations? I'm often feeling indifferent about the former, but absolutely love the latter. Because that's what I'm theorising about.

Ah, good. Looking forward to it, then.
