Our view
“Lord of Chaos” is the sixth of fifteen Wheel of Time novels and, at more than nine hundred pages, a test of stamina. Some readers report a slower, more frustrating stretch than the earlier volumes, with characters who irritate them, yet remain willing to go on. It is strictly for those already committed to the series; nobody should begin here.
