I think these books are getting better as they go on.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Rand Al'Thor is the Dragon Reborn--able to touch the One Power, but unable to control it. Rand knows only that he must face the Dark One in a battle to the death. Ahead of him lies the next great test for... THE DRAGON REBORN

I have been tagged by Mom, so I guess I can do it. =P

The Great Hunt by: Robert Jordan (2nd in series)


I have finally found the rythmn of Robert Jordan and so this book was much more enjoyable than the last one. This series is a good one, just slower than everything I normally read.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

For centuries, gleemen have told of The Great Hunt of the Horn. Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

The Eye of the World by: Robert Jordan (1st in series)


A good book, just a little slower than I'm used to.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, and Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Breaking Dawn by: Stephenie Meyer (4th in series)


THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I finished this book in 2 days, it would have been one day if I didn't have to go to work or church. I definitely recommend this to everybody!

"DON'T BE AFRAID," I MURMURED. "WE BELONG TOGETHER."

I WAS ABRUPTLY OVERWHELMED BY THE TRUTH OF MY OWN WORDS.

THIS MOMENT WAS SO PERFECT, SO RIGHT, THERE WAS NO WAY TO DOUBT IT.

HIS ARMS WRAPPED AROUND ME, HOLDING ME AGAINST HIM...IT FELT LIKE EVERY NERVE ENDING IN MY BODY WAS A LIVE WIRE.

"FOREVER," HE AGREED.

WHEN YOU LOVED THE ONE WHO WAS KILLING YOU, IT LEFT YOU NO OPTIONS. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs.

Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?

The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

New Spring by: Robert Jordan (prequel to series)


A good book

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

This book is basically Moraine's story before she becomes an Aes Sedai.
