A review by mdunnbass
Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan

4.0

I may have called this an 1100 page monster in my last post, and that may be an exaggeration, considering it weighs in at only about 730-some pages. But, it was still big, and heavy, and long, and chocked full o' goodness! More resolution of side-plots and forward motion towards mopping up the middling middle of the story than in any previous book since the whole thing got so convoluted and large. It really makes me believe that Brandon Sanderson really can finish off the whole series in the 3 more volumes promised. Yes, Sanderson. This was the last volume Jordan - really name Oliver Rigney, Jr. - completed before falling victim to cancer. That said, he left copious notes, plot outlines, and background information both in written form, and in the form of long discussions with his editor/wife - Harriet. Looking forward to finishing the series. Very much looking forward to it, especially considering the overall positive press the first Sanderson-co-penned volume "The Gathering Storm" has been receiving for the last 6 months.
