It's necessary for me talking about this fantasy author who unfortunately left this world
![[SM=g28000]](https://im0.freeforumzone.it/up/0/0/12320000.gif)
last year and who left a huge hole in fantasy world. Have you ever read his series "The Wheel of time"? If yes please let me know your opinions about him and his series it's very important for me

IMHO Rj is one of the most important author of the fantasy world and his series is one of the most beautiful work that I have read in my life.
Wot is fantastic, I haven’t other comments.

Good mordeth I agree with you but IMHO I think Goodkind is better than RJ. They are both fantasy kings and I quite cried when I learned of his death

Honestly I cannot decided who is the better between Rj and Goodkind,because Imo both are great author,maybe the best author of fantasy world.

We think the same, but I prefer TG cause I personify my self more with Richard than with Rand, Mat or Perrin infact I always said to Bayle that he represent a fusion of them (Rand-Mat-Perrin) in one man

sorry, what is 'eye of the world'?
what is 'new spring'?

00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 17:07
are two book of the serie, the EotW it's the first book, and NS it's a prequel of the series, but for you undestand all the book, you must havr read first 4 book...
singularity
00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 17:19
ok... let me see if i understand you correctly... New Spring, a prequel of the series and i should read it before i read Eye of the World and then read the rest of the series in order? did i understand you right?
valerio92
00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 17:34
no I think it said to read EOTW before all and after the fourth book "The shadow rising" to read NS.... Am I right Gabriel???
singularity
00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 17:58
now you are all really confusing me...
why don't you write all the titles in the order that i should read them to best enjoy the series, please
valerio92
00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 18:15
OK so:
1) Eye of the world;
2) The great hunt;
3) The Dragon reborn;
4) The shadow rising;
5) New spring;
6) The fires of heaven;
7) Lord of chaos;
8) A crown of swords;
9) The path of daggers;
10) Winter'sheart;
11) Crossroads of twilight;
12) Knife of dreams;

what do you not like... the story, the way he writes, what?
remember he wrote the first book at the age of 19... not sure how old the boy is now... so you cannot expect the maturity you find in jordan or terry... for a teen i think he does a splendid job
al'Gabriel Mandragoran
00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 20:45
for s teenager, but his job is mediocre-what the english for mediocre?- (scusate ma non so come tradurlo in inglese, e scrivo in italiano) quello che succede è piuttosto scontato, e anche le sorprese sono prevedibili... anche se lui scrive bene, e le pagine volano via... dopotutto è una lettura piacevole...
singularity
00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 21:10
capisco quello che vuoi dire... e una lettura che si puo predire (predict) non vi sono sorprese... ed il mondo in cui scrive non e uno dei piu belli... pero la storia e piacevole...
did i understand you correctly?
perche christopher scriver per young adults -- ragazzi della vostra eta e piu giovani -- prendo il tempo di leggerlo, perche aiuta a me a conoscere gli alti autori che scrivono for young adults...

00venerdì 3 ottobre 2008 21:17

si, è una lettura piacevole, ma non a livello di altri autori... serve soprattutto per introdurre nuovi lettori al fantasy...

Gabriel I agree with you.... in fact often in book shops'shelves there aren't names like Goodkind, Jordan, Hobb,Salvatore,Martin and so on with the masters of modern fantasy but there are certainly names as Paolini,Troisi etc..... and I think that they all write for young adults and they are a door to make people go near the true fantasy

00domenica 5 ottobre 2008 17:05
OT: salvatore, dovrebbe esser raggruppato insieme a brooks , paolini e troisi, di certo non accanto al nome di jordan...
singularity
00domenica 5 ottobre 2008 17:32
so, stai dicendo che terry brooks non scrive allo stesso livelo di jordan?
qui negli stati credo che brooks e piu lett di jordan
al'Gabriel Mandragoran
00domenica 5 ottobre 2008 17:40
brooks punta più alle masse, jordan è per pochi estimatori, che non credono che il fantasy sia solo tolkien o brooks...
singularity
00domenica 5 ottobre 2008 17:55
ho capito... in ogni caso non ho mai letto a brooks... e ogni volta che prendo uno dei suoi libri e leggo l assunto non mi ispira a leggere il libro...
