Favourite book in the WoT series

[Liandra]

I was planning to make a poll, until I found out there are only eight options in the poll... (The man has just written too many books! ) Anyway, what's your favourite book in the Wheel of Time series?

Mine is definately A Crown of Swords! I just love 'Mashiara'! I'm sure I've read that chapter two dozen times at least.
Second are The Eye of the World, The Shadow Rising, Winter's Heart (the chapters with Nynaeve in it, that is) and New Spring in Legends.

Allright, I'll admit: I just love the chapters with Nynaeve in it. I don't really care about the rest. I mean, I like the other chapters very much, but every passage with Nynaeve comes first. ;D

Ah, what a nice thread.

The best book in the "Wheel of Time" series is "Winter's Heart". The end says it all. It's brilliant!

My favourite book is now COT ;D Sorry Liandra and Wolf but you know how i feel about it.
It is my favourite book because a lot of cool things, in my opinion, happen.
I have noticed lately that at this moment I like the later books better, maybe because the characters aren't that innocent anymore and maybe just because it is the latest plot.

So Cot first, at this moment, wh second, but WH is the most "fun" book with a lily in the winter in it.

bye isabel

Mjah... I see what you mean. Although I liked the first books very much, Nynaeve Sedai is far cooler than Nynaeve the Wisdom. In other words, it is cool to see how simple farm people become important people. Still, I think if I had to choose, I would go with the first books. There aren't that many people in them (compared to the last books), so it is easier to understand the plot and you do not need to wait a thousand pages before your favourite character has a point of view again!

i liked aCos and LoC and WH equally because in all those books nyn did something really cool or she was in ther alot. CoT wasnt my favorite but...i read the 2 paragraphs of Caddy insulting nyn 12 times because thats the only time we see her

[Frenzy]

i don't know.... i think i like Nynaeve the Wisdom better than Nynaeve Sedai. She seems like, well.... she's just too much character for Jordan, and he's not sure what to do with her. Nynaeve Sedai definitely seems watered down to me. She's definitely not the same woman who meted out justice to the leashed sul'dam in Falme. THAT Nynaeve was much cooler.

back to the topic: aCoS was my least favorite book. "Mashiara" was it's saving grace, that chapter was great.

my favorite book is The Shadow Rising, it had both action and plot development. The Emonds Field scenes were fabulous!

[WolfGaidin]

Ah, the Emond Field scenes were great indeed!

Reading my earlier post in this thread, where I said the ending of WH to be great, I thought about another great WoT book, with a great ending: LoC!
The Battle at Dumai's Wells! Oh my, that was such an exciting ending!
However, the ending of book 9, with the cleansing of saidin, is still the best.
WH is my favourite book, with LoC as a close second.

ohhh.. they are all so good, but if I had to choose one it would have to bee The Fires of Heaven. Why, I don't really know, but it has something with Nynaeve bosing people around. Ok, mostly it has something with Moiraine saving the day and world. Kinda feel a bit like Lan, stck between Nynaeve and Moiraine.

[Squilo]

ya i agree with you. i liked the nynaeve that was sorta in between wisdom and AS.

*Spoilers*

i loved the scene when nyn kicks the sul'dams @$$! she was way cooler back then. i dont like the nynaeve at all that is in love with lan and makes a fool of herself! i mean, being in love with lan is all fine and dandy, but throwing your brain and ideals out the window make you really boring to read about. RJ cant keep goin marrying off all the characters! i mean. mat gets married. elayne rand min avi. and nyn. eghead and gawyn. ther never goin to have any more adventures. especially elayne. now that shes in the royal palace shes gonna be really boring.

*/Spoilers*

i wish that nyn would just go back staying her tempermental, intellegent, rand bossing, self and go back to being so fun to read about!

anyways, my favorite book has to be...tGH or tFoH. great hunt, cool seanchan dudes, nyn kicking buttox, in tFoH ther is more nyn than rand and i personnaly if i met rand would like to slap him down, punch him out, suspend him from the ceeling and let good old nyn do some braid yanking yellin. anyhoo.

*tFoH Spoilers!*

tFoH was cool with moir jumping on the wagon and killing lanfear, nyn and valan luca was SO FUNNY!

*/tFoH Spoilers!*

i liked LoC but as i said before i hate rand. and what he did at dumai's wells with the salidar AS made me grab my long hair and pull a nynaeve like tug. so over all, tGH and tFoH were the best.

[WolfGaidin]

Squilo, there are quite some spoilers in your posts above. Some of us have not yet read all of the books.
I changed your posts this time. Please don't forget to change the color of your spoilers and to indicate that there *are* spoilers in your posts, next time. Thank you.

Read the 'Forum rules'-thread when you don't know how to do this.

The first three books were adventure stories...

{tEotW} {tGH} {tDR}

The second three books, were world enlarging books, and greater numbers of characters...

{tSR} {tFoH} {LoC}

{aCoS} was a mind twisting story...

{ PoD } was dark, more like Stephen King...

{ WH } One of the greatest events in the whole series happens in this book...

{CoT} Was overshadowed by the DO....

My Favourites???

It has to be Winter's Heart...

But The Shadow Rising... appeals to me... there's something very warming about watching Perrin become a man.
