 Review of "A Crown of Swords"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Though it took Robert Jordan about 18 months to write A Crown of Swords, the latest in the bestselling Wheel of Time series, at 663 pages it weighs in as one of the more slender volumes, considerably shorter than its predecessor, the behemoth Lord of Chaos (1994).
In fact, A Crown of Swords, while tighter and better-written than Lord of Chaos, reads much like a wrapping-up volume to that previous story.
Judging from the end of A Crown of Swords, the eighth book in the series promises to be a real blockbuster.

 Scifi and Fantasy Forum: Books and Book Reviews: Robert Jordan:Archive through Aug 27, 2000
Crown of Swords picked up a little bit, but still was not up to par with the Eye of the World.
One of the things I like best about the whole series is the difference between saidar and saidin-- can't remember in which book this is really spelled out but it nearly gave me chills-- Jordan to me was describing the difference between male and female hormones; between male and female essence...
Shadow Rising and Lord of Chaos were my favorites so far; I was a bit disappointed in the last two, mainly Crown of Swords-- the excessive cuteness got to me, as i said, and also the ending stretched my suspension-of-disbelief almost to the breaking point.

Somebody suggested that this may be a stripped-down version of the Illianer Crown of Swords, but it is more likely a crown that we haven't seen before, or of a new country.

This decoration was an officer's only decoration, and is particularly unique as it has both the Crown and Swords, which is a unique and desirable combination.
The MMO was a standard decoration among Bavarian officers (even among other officers throughout Germany) with the Swords, and the inclusion of the Crown makes this a higher level of award and a very special award.
Class with Swords is commonly seen, examples with crown and swords are not.

 Crown of Swords, The by Robert Jordan - Book
In turning to a Crown of Swords, I was awaiting a story in which the path to the last battle so often talked of in this series is etched out, the ashaman and the Aes Sedai beginning to fall in to line with Rand.
It was a good book compared to JRR Martin's Storm of Swords.
Crown of Swords was a good book because it had some spins and twists that I didn't expect but would he stop with Bloody Aes Sedai, Wise Women and all the women that can channel.
