I've read through the whole series about a dozen times now, and with each run-through, I find new and wonderful things in all the books that helps to make the experience continuously enjoyable. With the last read-through, I decided to write reviews for each of the books, and that's what I've got here. Now that I've read 'Winter's Heart', it'll be a while before another review, but when I read through the series again, I might go back to these reviews and make revisions if my opinions change. There is a general format for the reviews: first, a paragraph on the book itself, with observations and conclusions. Then, a breakdown of some of the features of the novel, which are summarized here: Plotting, which talks about the various plot threads Jordan has woven into the narrative, and how well they're handled; Characterization, which examines the ongoing fleshing-out of the various characters, and how successful Jordan is at this task; Pacing, which studies how well the narrative moves forward, whether it moves too quickly or not fast enough; Best Scene, which lists what I believe to be the most enjoyable or interesting scene in the book; Best Quote, which is really more or less my favourite quote from the text; Most Screen Time, which is about what character's point of view dominates the most chapters; and Overall, which sums up my feelings about the book, and then a rating out of 5 angreals.
