Over the years I have wavered...but the top three until Knife of Dreams was
#1 Lord of Chaos: The World of Dreams...Egwene becoming Amyrlin...Nynaeve healing stilling...Mat becoming a General...Rand being captured...all the younglings learning and growing I also considered A Crown Of Swords the culmanation of LoC...if I were a publisher I would have combined them...because ACOS is the natural Climax of what happened in LoC
#2 The Shadow Rising: This is where RJ changed the whole series and made it gigantic...he could have ended the whole series with this book by having Rand and the other younglings meet and destroy the Forsaken in the Stone Of Tear...but instead he broaded the series to include the Three Fold Land and the Aiel...he expanded the role of Perrin in the Two Rivers and send two of the girls to a strange land...this was where the series went from a small world tightly woven adventure series to a whole world at war series and it was changed forever also becoming greatly enlarged
#3 is a tie between The Dragon Reborn and The Fires of Heaven...both books very important to the overall aspect of the series...
Since KoD I find it hard not to put it somewhere between tDR and tFoH..
Or I can just say that these are the four most important books in the series...
I don't know why I do not include tEotW in the top 4 but I don't even though it is a very important book...I still put in 5th...even though it is the start and without it we have nothing else...just a flaw in my nature...
