Review

'With the Wheel of Time, Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal' NEW YORK TIMES 'A powerful vision of good and evil.' - ORSON SCOTT CARD

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

Reviewed in Australia on 23 May 2019

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.

Very narrow audience IMO

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2019

This is a companion to the Wheel of Time series and fills in a few blanks based on the late Robert Jordans notes. Personally as a devotee, I enjoyed it. Before buying this, be aware -this is NOT a new story, rather a fleshing out of details. Also, I highly recommend finishing the series at least once before picking this up -or else you will end up spoiling it for yourself.

On a disappointing note, a lot of the information within has been reproduced in part on fan-sites and forums, if you frequent these, there may be little for you in this book. Still a good addition to any enthusiasts library.

Review on "The World of Robert Jordan's...", Hardcover edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2012

Verified Purchase

Hardcover edition, Orbit 1997.
A big book (28x22cm, 304pages), glossy paper, many colored pictures. This is a book telling the history of the world of wheel of time, its nations and people, so it is not written in lyrical and poetic language but more like a history book. It's a quite detailed description of this world and the book is densely written. I think reading some wheel of time novels can make this book more accessible.
The book has many colored and some black-white maps, paintings of people, animals, banners. There are some full-page paintings and seven beautiful two-full-page paintings of the cover artwork of some hardcover editions of books of wheel of time. The artist of some other paintings has a kind of modern way to paint, not the classical/romantic style; i guess thats why the negative comments in other reviews.
The hard cover is dark blue colored, with golden letters on the spine only, and a beautiful dust jacket. Overall a very nice edition.
I havent read any of the wheel of time novels so i can not tell if this is a usefull book for fans of this series (other reviews tell that). I bought it because i like to read books telling the history of fantasy worlds, and this one is a book i liked. I give 4 stars for the book because i like classic/romantic style of paintings but if one likes more modern artwork this is more like a 5 star book.

interesting book on the world of wheel of time.

Jordan wrote the book but considers it outside the canon of the epic story.

I thought it would be interesting given the Hugeness of the story. Being able to look at someone and read they history all on page rather than spread over several novels.

There were 15 books in total in the series and many of them 900 - 1200 pages.

Nothing wrong with it as a guide just wondered why it was not considered canon
