Knife of Dreams - first US edition
by Robert Jordan - signed
The 11th book in "The Wheel of Time" series. The breakneck pace, lyrical
beauty and astonishing scope of the early Wheel of Time volumes established
Jordan as one of the top writers in the Tolkien tradition. While more recent
entries have maintained that beauty and scope, the pace has slowed to a crawl as
the central characters dispersed in six directions. In contrast, the latest
explodes with motion, as multiple plot lines either conclude or advance, and the
march to Tarmon Gai'don—the climactic last battle between the Dragon Reborn and
the Dark One—begins in earnest. Faile's captivity with the Shaido, Mat's pursuit
of Tuon and Elayne's war for Caemlyn come to a close, while Egwene's capture
brings the Aes Sedai war to the heart of the Tower.
