(11.01.2002): Robert Jordan - Winters Heart
Book nine of The Wheel of Time series. Describing it in one sentence? Only one sentence fits, and that only barely; Another brick in the wall...
Yes, the story IS captivating, but it's also a heavy read, not only because the book is so thick, but also because the author have let time pass from where book eight left off, leaving the reader hanging. He also jumps between several different plot-threads quite suddenly. This can make the book more confusing, but you'll soon get used to it.

The only word that fits this book is 'Spellbinding'... How else to explain that I sat down thurdsay evening, and the next I knew my tea was cold and that the clock was 11:00 AM?
By the way, the last book I wrote about...
I wrote about it when I was about one third through it. I think I laid it away before I got halfway...
