5/23/2023 0 Comments Lord of chaos by robert jordan![]() ![]() As I mentioned in my review of The Fires of Heaven, at times Robert Jordan seems less to be writing a story and more to be writing a documentary or biography of characters in a fantasy universe. That being said, this book moves very, very slowly, as a function of how detailed Robert Jordan tends to be with his characters. I suppose what I’ve said sounds incredibly boring, but I love the politics and maneuvering and spying, all of the things that go into a fantasy minded political manifest. I tend to have troubles remembering the order all events happened (especially since I am reading all of the books in The Wheel of Time back to back in rapid fire fashion) so I went to the WoT Wiki to make sure I had everything straight in my head and even the plot summary read like a dry manifest of political discourse. ![]() I mean, the politics take place in a fantasy setting, but considering the reasons most read fantasy novels is to escape the slog and bureaucracy, I can see why this may be a problem for some. ![]() Far more politics than fantasy adventure, this book is incredibly important, but slow. ![]()
