if not the best of the series

This was one of, if not the best of the series, so far. I am looking forward to #16 later this year!

The beginning is another dome attack like we've seen a lot of before, so I worried that Stephen had run out of new ideas.

I was sure wrong about that. More ingenious ideas from Tet that devastate the Krall and hints about where this all will end up start to slip out. New weapons by both sides and new ways to wage the war. The president of the humans becomes a prominent character, to the detriment of the Kobani.

Bottom line, this is the best of the series. Tough trick to pull off considering how great these books are but Stephen Bennett is still getting better as the series goes on.

Not the best book of the series but a good read and something everyone who has been reading this series will want to read.

Book 6 has none of the fluff of book 5. The pace of the book slows to a sinister crawl towards the middle and then speeds up towards a cracking finale. I think it is one of the best in the series, up there with vols 2, 3, 4 The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn and The Shadow Rising. The political intrigue reaches a climax and Rand's paranoia is increasingly justified. This book is largely about Rand, Egwene, Perrin.

I always find it strange that people wax lyrical about book 1, which I thought has the most stupid last 200 pages of any of the books in the series.

this one was the best of the series! I couldn't put it down. everyone had grown up, and the drama was toned down. much better than the others. glad I finally got to it.

This book, like the 4 others in the series, is highly readable and grabs one's attention.  Some familiar characters return, along with new ones in a complexity of subplots.  Not as captivating to me as books 1 and 2, but certainly worth reading.

Not The Best Of The Series - but still good. This one had much less character development than the other books I thought. And more fight, fight, and still more fighting. Which I found a bit tedious after a bit, thus the four versus five star rating.
If you like Zombie novels, this series is one of the best of the bunch! Read them in order if you can, explains the "back story".
I'm in for Book Six, hope it shows up soon with less weapons talk and more character talk.

This is without doubt the best game in the series. It's just a shame the series kept getting worse with each new game. This one, however, is well worth the time.

This was the best book of the series. Obviously this one was planned before the others. Wrapped it up nicely.  Could have done without the trek through the jungle.

Not the best book or the longest of the series but still a must read to go through the series

Best of the series, good exploration, character development and believable story line. Dr. Flox is my favorite especially in the episode "Dear Doctor" when Captain Archer needs him to find a cure. When Flox steps away from his microscope, the expression on his face says it all.

This is the best of the series. LC really knows how to tell an exciting story and his world is rich and well crafted. He creates characters that are fully four dimensional. It reads a lot like a Kurisawa Film or classic western.

The best book of the series, IMHO. I love the characters.

The best of the series so far. Classic Samurai story. Swagger at his best, and truly at his best when he goes to war.

31/2 stars really, good but not as good as the best of the series.

While the consensus seems to be that this volume of Robert Jordan's epic is not as good as the others, I disagree.  There are some unforgettable moments in this novel.  The novel does have the feel of a prologue for the  next book, but it did not deter, for me at least, from the greatness of  this epic series.  This is a landmark series, and seeing how this one wraps  up is going to be a lot of fun.
Don't keep yourself from this volume of  the series because of some sarcastic, unrealistic reviews from other  readers.  It's better than most other fantasy out there.

This is easily one of the best in the series.  The first three books are the best.  Young readers are still finding the series and liking it.  Wish some of his "save the world" stuff would have taken hold.
