Summary: Let Robert Jordan AND the Lord of Chaos rule!
Comment: Oh, man! This is so great! Now that Lanfear is out of the way, as well as a half a dozen other Forsaken, Rand can finally set about doing what he has to... but step carefully! With Egwene just raised to the rebel Amyrlin Seat, Nynaeve and Elayne trying to find a ter'angreal that will mend the hellish weather and possibly throwing a wrecking ball through Rand's plans by dragging Mat along, Morgase now a "guest" in the Fortress of the Light, Aes Sedai who are trying to capture Rand and drag him to the White Tower to hold him until Tarmon Gai'don and the reader's discovery of some more Black Ajah in the Tower itself, this will leave you on your seat's edge. A little graphic at the end, at Dumai's Wells, but... Oh, yes. Rand has his help. He recruited the false Dragon Mazrim Taim, who can also channel (and sounds suspiciously like the Forsaken Demandred!) to help him find men who can channel or be trained to, and created a "Black Tower" of Asha'man. At the same time, he's trying to deal with Lews Therin Telamon's insane spirit in his head. Excellent plot twist!
In Salidar, Egwene is having her own problems. As the new Amyrlin, she has to deal with a stubborn Keeper and a stubborn Hall, while handling a captured Moghedien and a few other crises.
As we have come to expect out of RJ, these books are each detailed, fast-paced, high-quality masterpieces, and I am looking forward to Books 7 and 8. I see complaints about "it's too slow", "it's too detailed"... B.S.! This seems slow because it's gigantic... I've heard estimates of up to 15 books, all of them at least 700-pagers. Hey, the more, the better! You want to read the series? Live with it! And every detail could be important, especially when dealing with Aes Sedai. Details help you feel emotions, and I cried when Moiraine died. I understood completely how Rand felt about Rahvin. If you liked the other books, you'll love this. The little "quotes" are cool, too.

Summary: Asha'Man
Comment: I just got done with this book after struggling through it for a LONG time! By far it's the most boring in the series compared to the previous 5. Several interesting ideas come into play, but I felt they were poorly executed for the most part. The only worthwhile events were Egwene being chosen as the new Amrylin, the introduction of the Black Tower (which I thought was brilliant), and Nynaeve developing the new Talent of healing the stilling/gentling effect of those who can channel. I felt that the story kept dancing in circles, really not going anywhere. The Forsaken just kind of appear but play no important role, which leaves us with a lot more useless minor characters, and little conflicts with the Cairhien and Andoran Lords/Ladies. I've noticed a pattern developing that Robert Jordan kind of feels that he needs to keep the books the same length, and just kind of kill of the book as almost an afterthought. The first 4 are by far the best fantasy novels ever written in my opinion however.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good book, little repetative.
Comment: The sixth book of Robert Jordan is good but somewhat repetative. The plot developes a little more, but not like it did in the first 4 books where their was more action. The book is ok to read and I will read all the rest of the Wheel of Time series.
