BrainFireBob | Jul 20, 2020 |   The purely alphabetically order means this book is a great reference if you want to look something up, but it's less accessible if you want to sit down and just read about one particular topic. I suspect this book is most useful for fans who are involved in things like debating theories or creating fan art, and for casual readers wanting to be reminded of details they've forgotten. The Companion is not perfect. It doesn't include everything I'd hope it would. But I'm very glad to have it all the same. (  ) Herenya | Jan 18, 2017 | I am unable at this time to write a review, but no one would listen to what I say since I'm married to one of the authors, and the other 2 are dear, dear friends. I also know the hard work and careful consideration that went into creating this reference book. For readers, it will be a little like that proverbial elephant being examined and described by six blind men-- a little different for everyone. I, for one, am glad that it is available. My favorite bit it on old tongue, both the script, which I'm incorporating into art, and the definitions of words. Sure, there are things I would have liked to see, including a bit more artwork (not mine, but that of others), But, for the most part, consider me happy to have this as a reference for a series well done. Good job, team Jordan. (  ) bookczuk | Dec 16, 2015 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. Over the course of fifteen books and millions of words, the world that Jordan created grew in depth and complexity.

Now The Wheel of Time Companion sheds light on some of the most intriguing aspects of this fantasy world, including biographies and motivations of many characters that never made it into the books, but helped bring Jordan's world to life.Included in the volume in an A-to-Z format are: An entry for each named character An inclusive dictionary of the Old Tongue New maps of the Last Battle New portraits of many characters Histories and customs of the nations of the world The strength level of many channelers Descriptions of the flora and fauna unique to the world And much more!The Wheel of Time Companion will be required reading for The Wheel of Time's millions of fans"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Did you try and maintain an Excel spreadsheet or database of Aes Sedai to find the Black Ajah? Obsolete!
Are you someone who is overwhelmed by characters that came back after thousands of pages? Here you go!
My wife and I have read WoT together, aloud, twice. Our third read was triggered by this coming out; each time a new character comes along my wife stops me to check the entry to better put everything in context. (
