 The Wheel of Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wheel of Time (abbreviated tWoT or more commonly, WoT) is a bestselling fantasy book series written by Robert Jordan, notable for the extreme density of its plotting, the intricate detail of its imaginary world, its generally pessimistic tone, and the lifelike complexity of relationships and interactions between characters, both individually and collectively.
To counter this threat, the Wheel caused the Dragon, the champion of the Light and a channeler of immense power, to be born.
While the series has generally gained popularity over time, the consensus among fans of the series is that while earlier installments (books 1 to 6, possibly 7) are exemplary examples of epic fantasy, the later ones have degenerated into pulp.
