A review by ketreads
Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan
adventurous
mysterious
slow-paced
3.5
Another Wheel of Time entry I loved every second of.
These reviews get a little harder to keep spoiler free the further I get into the series but I'll give it a go!
This book continues on right after the last one finishes, though once again changes main characters to Elaine and Rand. I love the characters surrounding Elaine, and love Rand, so I have little to complain about. This book manages to further our understanding and plots surrounding both the tower, the black tower, and the seanchan. The latter is one of my lesser enjoyed aspects of the books, but by now I've learnt to trust Jordans process as the last 3 books have managed to even make that fascinating to me. I continue to have no clue where the series will end up, but loving every moment of it.
Both Rand and Egwene continue to be my favourites of the series, though I hear that's a controversial opinion the further I get into the series. Nynaeve and Lan aren't far behind those two, but I'd be lying if I didn't say how there continues to be countless characters I love seeing on page.
I realise this is the last book Jordan himself wrote, but I'm pretty optimistic on the amount of notes poor Sanderson must have had to read to continue this series for him. Fingers crossed I enjoy where he takes the series!
