" The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the . . . evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades." -- "The New York Times" on The Wheel of Time


" The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." -- "Chicago Sun-Times"



" Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil-- but what strikes me as most pleasurable . . . is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world." -- Orson Scott Card on The Wheel of Time



" The complex philosophy behind The Wheel of Time series is expounded so simply the reader often gives a start of surprise at returning to the real world. Rand's adventures are not finished and neither is this thinking person's fantasy series." -- "Bruswick Sentinel" (Australia)



" Jordan has not merely put old wine into new bottles: He has clothed old bones with new flesh." -- "Chicago Sun-Times" on The Wheel of Time
