Product description

Review

With the Wheel of Time, Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal. - NEW YORK TIMES

Fans of the series will appreciate this as an attractive coffee-table volume which, like Tolkien's detailed appendices in The Lord of the Rings, casts light on mysteries and trivia that didn't fit into the narrative... A must for Jordan addicts. - DAVID LANGFORD, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW

On very rare occasions, very talented storytellers create worlds that are beyond fantasy; worlds that become realities. Robert Jordan has. - MORGAN LLWELYN

A powerful vision of good and evil. - ORSON SCOTT CARD

A guide book to a lot of backstory for The Wheel of Time

23 May 2019

Format: Hardcover

Written from the prospect of a historian in "Randland" The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time serves as a great book for back story references. There is a wealth of knowledge on display for those who are keen to delve more into the lore of the Wheel of Time on a study level. Jordan also stated, at the time, that the information within is from a canon standpoint, as well.
The sections within are as follows: the Wheel and the Power; the Age of Legends, which includes biographies on the Forsaken, my personal favorite section; the World since the Breaking; the World of the Wheel and Within the Land. Included also is a Narrative Paintings including covers from books 1-8 .
Now some cons: Also included throughout is some awful, awful, artwork, sadly. What this book might of been (at the time) if they had just put more resources into the art. No offence to the artists, its just not up to scratch for the presentation offered.

And in closing: this book was first published in 1997, then released once again with A Path of Daggers cover-art being added to the book (the hardcover version I own), so the series was only halfway completed by time of its release. In 2015 Harriet (Jordan's wife) released an A-Z Companion book with foot note written biographies. So that will have the complete information but it is written, as I said, in a foot note fashion and not in a fluent text/ study historian style like this book I am reviewing here. I just thought it was worth mentioning.
For the Wheel of Time Die-hards, if you can grab the hardcover edition of this book, despite the lack luster art within the information on the Age of Legends and the Breaking of the World is a must have. Maybe with the TV series from Amazon Prime and Sony we can get an updated full complete edition written in the same style, but this is STILL worth being in your collection regardless.

Recommended for fans but know the illustrations are not good

I was very excited to get this book and have been a fan of the series since I was very young. I started a reread of the books and that inspired me to get this addition. It is interesting to read through especially having read it before my reread of the books. It has clarified some things and given me a better understanding of saidin/sadar, items, relics and the world history. The illustrations are pretty awful though, I really wish they where better. Even a little better would be a big improvement. But they are still interesting since you know they were approved by Robert jordan/James Rigney so they do reflect his idea of what things looked liked.

so-so.

I have a weird child-like fondness for the WoT, the first volumes of which I read as a kid, and this is an interesting and well-written supplement to the series. It illuminates some of the details and logistics of the philosophy, magic system, and cultures of the WOT books in an clear, engaging way. Since RJ was involved, I think a reader can reasonably take the content here as canon, if you will.

On the other hand, the book has two major weaknesses. One is that is was compiled and published mid-way through the series -- so it is far from comprehensive. There are things I was curious to look up in this book that simply aren't there, because they didn't exist in the series itself yet. (A more comprehensive encyclopedia edited by Jordan's wife is due out late in 2015, I believe.)

Two, is that the art is pretty god-awful. And that's coming from someone who actually kind of *likes* the mass market paperback cover art for the series. If you think that art is bad, this is far worse. It's sort of embarrassingly poor.

So in short, this is okay -- if you're a fan and you can get it cheap, I'd say go for it. Otherwise wait for the newer reference due out soon.

Great resource, but not complete

1 June 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

This book was written long before the series had been finished by Brandon Sanderson, so it leaves a lot of questions open.Still, it was a great companion to the series and provided a lot of background and ancillary information that is not easily extracted from the books themselves. Happy to have it alongside the series.

Great companion to the series..

The Wheel of Time series is at the top of my list for fantasy literature. I found this book to be very informative, and I particularly enjoyed the age of legends section. I only wish the book had an update to reflect closure for the series. Also, I would love it if Brandon Sanderson would write a prequel novel covering the age of legends in greater depth.

Not impresive

23 May 2012 - Published on Amazon.com

I am a big fan of the WoT books. I've always been a little disappointed with the artwork the publisher produced. I was not impressed with this book's artwork either. The information within does not do much to enhance the experience for WoT readers. Even though I was disappointed, I will not tell all Wheel of Time fans to stay away. It depends on your expectations. If you love the books and want to buy up everything related to them, this will enhance your collection. The book is professional and accurate to the series. If you have not read all the books you should be aware that there could be some spoilers.

This books defines a 3 star review- competent, but not impressive.

To this day the best WoT art has been the fan art and the recent eBook covers.
