Secure A Copy Heer Van Chaos (Het Rad Des Tijds, #6) Authored By Robert Jordan In Paper Copy
of Chaos ispages of people posturing for power by standing or sitting around talking, Painfully slow pacing with very little tension that ultimately arrives at a limp ending, It's quite possible this book could be removed from the series altogether and none would be the wiser, HOLY HELL. Some shit went down in this one!
Rand FINALLY feels like he finished with his whining and getting on with stuff his stuff being manwhoring, And, I LOVE IT.
Egwene WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL!
Loial LOVE YOU
Elayne I just like you less and less every book, Shut up. You have basically switched places with that other idiot, Egwene,
Aviendah is growing on me, Still kind of a weirdo, but I like it,
Mat I can't remember when I started liking you, Don't ever change
Perrin Your wife sucks,
Faile You suck,
Lan WHERE ARE YOU, BOYFRIEND OF MY HEART
Nynaeve Is my spirit animal,
Min Glad to see you are getting some good story time, But, stop with the crying, I'm pretty sure you are cooler than that,
All the good guy Aiel You guys are the best,
All the 'tricky' people fuck you,
Rating: Excellent
Genre: Epic Fantasy
Lord of Chaos is full of chaos! At times the book was slow but when it moved it really moved! I absolutely loved it.
So much is happening here, The book is overpages with both prologue and epilogue, The previous books had no epilogues, Not sure if the subsequent books will continue to have both, But man the prologue of Lord of Chaos is aroundpages! Making it the longest prologue I have ever read! In this part of the series, there are some shocking events that happen.
I will try to make this review in a different format and try to summarize some of the main events into bullet points:
More forsakens are introduced like Demandred, Graendal, Semirhage, and Mesaana.
We get to read some of their POVs too which is good,
After the break of the White Tower, Two groups of Aes Sedai are sent to meet The Dragon Reborn, One represents the White Tower and the others are the rebels, Both parties fail how to deal properly with Rand, The politics related to that is awesome, Two opposing parties trying to win or make undue influence to gain power,
Rand starts hearing Lewis Therins voice in his head and is able to interact with it, I feel this was a truly great addition to the story, It made Rands point of view more interesting, I feel it will open many doors for future events,
Nynaeve will be able to heal stilled Aes Sedai and gentled men, She heals Siuan, Leane, and Logain, Something that nobody could do before,
The rebels appoint a new Amyrlin seat and it was a shock to me who they chose!
Rand recruits Mazrim Taim to train all the men who are able to channel and calls them the Ashamen.
According to Mazrim Taim, the men call the school the Black Tower but I suspect there is more to it!
“Never make a plan without knowing as much as you can of the enemy.
Never be afraid to change your plans when you receive new information, Never believe you know everything, And never wait to know everything, ”
Of course, these are not everything but some of the important events that were very crucial in moving the plot, Perrin, Faile, Loial, and Verin who were completely absent in the previous book make an important return here and have an important role in the final battle, What really made Lord of Chaos such a great book other than the usual elements and main events is the final battle, Boy, that battle was truly epic, My mind was blown and my eyes were popping out of my head, Robert Jordan is the master of his craft, He knows how to play with your emotions and how to create grand scenes that you will never forget, The whole events that led to the Battle of Dumais Wells, the battle itself, and the end result all were GRAND!
“If the world is ending, a woman will want time to fix her hair.
If the worlds ending, a woman will take time to tell a man something hes done wrong, ”
This is the sixth book in the series and I am already very invested in the story, world, characters, events, and everything related, The Yearhas not been a good year for me and many other people but thanks to the Wheel of Time series for giving me such a wonderful escape whenever I needed it.
Highly recommended.
THIS IS MEANT AS A LIGHT, NOTTOOSERIOUS BUT HOPEFULLY FUNNY REVIEW, SO PLEASE TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS, AND NOW, ON TO THE SLAUGHTER!!!
Nyneave tugged her braid as hard as she could bear it, Any harder and she would surely rip her scalp off, “How am I supposed to review this book” she muttered, holding a copy of Robert Jordans Lord of Chaos in her left hand, Her right was busy pulling at her braid, “The authors first three books were really goodwell, if one turns a blind eye on the fact that they are LOTR ripoffs, which, dont get me wrong, is fine by me, just as long as the story is revisited in a captivating way and makes you turn the pages faster than it takes for my right hand to reach up and tug my braid speaking of whichbut bookandwere pretty hard to slog through and Im afraid the same can be said about book.
The ending is pretty good, though, Quite unexpected, you might say, Ah, men!”
Elayne listened to her friend, the faintest ghost of the beginning of a smile slightly spiced up by the undeniable tinge of mockery embodied in the ever so feeble and elusive yet very much there glint in her left eye which, much like her right eye, was the color of the sea and the sky when it is not yet noon although the eleventh hour of the day is well nigh passed and gone.
“My dear sweet good friend Nyneave, what troubles you so, pray tell your dear sweet good friend Elayne”
Nyneave glared at Elayne, a pearly thread of saliva dangling from the left corner of her mouth whose full lips were the color of the sky when it is not yet dawn although dusk is long passed and gone.
She had never been so angry in her life! Well, not since five minutes ago, anyway, “Are you deaf, woman Woolheaded perhaps” She gave her braid another tug, this time hard enough to make her scream in pain, It felt good, though. Indeed, it felt quite pleasurable, Like, pleasing. The opposite of unpleasant. Or that of disagreeable. You know, like, good. For the pain reminded her she was alive and had hair to tug at, And so she tugged at it one more time for good measure, “I just said out loud that I didnt know what to make of bookin the Wheel of Time series, I warned you time and again not to listen to your iPod so often, woman, And what did her Highness do You kept on listening to that woolheaded contraption of a thing and made yourself deaf, Ah, women!”
Elayne chose not to answer to that illfounded accusation, She put both her bejeweled hands palm up on her lap, smoothing backhandedly the delicate fabric of her dress which was made of a multitude of silk and damask and
cotton and acrylic and elastane cloth leaves, each perfectly and masterfully and skillfully sewn together and each having its own particular hue which very often reminded the onlookeror for that matter the bearer, for dresses were meant to be worn in this part of Randland and not only admired and wrote about for thousands and thousands and thousands of pagesof the color of an autumn sky when summer is definitely passed and gone but winter is not yet there and bides its time dozing patiently at the corner of November and December, and said, “I think you should know by now that the authorthe Gods rest his soulonly wrote booksthroughof his series because his editor, who also happened to be his wife, had thrown in the towel well before the Breaking of the World.
So he basically wrote whatever he wanted for as many pages as he wanted, not giving a rats ass about moving the plot along or shutting it up about what this and that Aes Sedai is wearing in this and that scene.
Image how fun it must have been for him! Quite a treat, really, Not so much for us readers, though So heres what you should do, sweet beautiful Nyneave: dont bother reading bookthroughI know I wont just Google the plot summaries ah, ah, ah, the plot! Thats a good one! and then move on to bookThe Gathering Storm by Brandon Sanderson.
Here, you can even use my iPod, That way youll have your hands free to do as much braid pulling as you want while listening to the audiobook, Arent I a great friend, sweet beautiful gorgeous Nyneave”
“Burn you, woman, burn you and your fancy gadgets to the hundred hells below!” In her rage, Nyneave went on tugging at her braid like a demented Quasimodo pulling at the bell rope of NotreDame on a wedding day.
She tugged hard. Oh boy, did she. Really, really hard. A little too hard perhaps, For in the end she broke her cervical spine, leaving her paralyzed from the neck down, All you need to know about this novel is that the Prologue ispages long and it renders Moraines sacrifice from the previous book pointless I swear, I nearly stopped reading.
Also, if you expect some Lord of Chaos to make an appearance dont, The title has no significance whatsoever aside from signalling that plotwise chaos has the reign supreme,
I have a pretty strong feeling that the title has been given when the book had already been written, and Mr Jordan realised that there is no order and composition here, so all he can do is to try to use the title as a camouflage for all this nonsense on overpages by pretending it is absolutely intentional.
“Nothing had solidified but everything coalesced, ”
Unfortunately, it is the weakest novel in the series, In this volume, it becomes clear that the series begins to break apart under its own weight, Above all, the pace of action is impaired because the Author is fond of all kinds of descriptions which means that my eyes instinctively skim over redundant paragraphs in search of the main thread.
As long as the Author sticks to essential things and significant characters and I dont mean only the primary ones, its still an excellent thing,
Think about it: in “The Shadow Rising” every page was necessary, and so many things happened that I flew through,pages, Here, for,pages I struggled as almost nothing significant happens, which, given the size of the book, seems unbelievable, Some of the subplots are missing, while the action moves slowly and in strange directions, Many events smell like deus ex machina, and the very ending of the book is terribly strenuous and irritating, a far cry from the epic finale of “The Fires of Heaven.
”
“Do what you must, and pay the price of you are wrong, Sometimes if you are right, too, ”
The plot relentlessly albeit ever so slowly moves forward, the development of events is sluggish, if consistent, the real action as opposed to describing, musing, and plotting is measured out in droplets:
Another group of the Forsaken makes an appearance Mr Jordan masterfully shows what one reaps when siding with evil, and how evil corrupts and destroys everything it touches instead of bringing the anticipated success, it turns the blessings into curses.
Mazrim Taim is given some space to grow, the male counterparts of Aes Sedai become a fact oh, good, good!,
Egwene gets an unexpected role imagine my shock!, and when you exhort Nyaneve to get a grip, she merely gets a death grip on her braid.
Somebody neutralise Faile please, what she does to Perrin is first lass cruelty she cannot be that stupid to think he cares for other women.
Mat Mat! is fast becoming my new favourite mainly through his vain attempts to not become a hero,
Rand's ludicrous love life continues on with the third girl in the spotlight, The most exciting thing is him becoming slightly paranoid drama queen mind you not without reason and the revelation about his halfbrother truly unsaddled me.
“Dont trust! Never trust! Trust is death!”
In general, everyone is arming themselves, and the imminent feeling is that confrontations between different factions can happen at any moment they dont, though!.
What makes it even more interesting is that while many characters in Mr Jordans series are positive protagonists, often because of idiosyncratic reasons, they are not on the same side of the barricade or have a different way of fighting evil.
This causes confusion and conflicts between potential allies, But here everything truly does fold back into itself in endless circles, and it is one of the saving graces that keep me going,
“We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect, ”
