Summary: Very Very Slow
Review: I consider this book to be the worst so far in the series. Robert Jordan could have written what was in this book in about 5 pages but he took 700 pages it to do it. Also one of the main reasons I read this series is because no matter how slow the book is you can always expect something really cool to happen in the last 20 or so pages of the book. That was not the case in Crossroads of Twilight, the last 20 pages were just as boring as the rest of the book. If you have read the every book in this series as I have I'm sure this review won't change your mind but you should at least wait for it to come out in paperback before buying it. Lets hope that Jordan can actully put some action in to book 11.

Summary: Newest Jordan book embodies strengths, flaws of series
Review: It is true that the series plot did not really advance throughout Crossroads of Twilight. Nonetheless, I found it to be an enjoyable read. Reading the 10th volume in the Wheel of Time series felt like catching up with some old friends I haven't talked to in a while. I enjoy hearing from them, even though not much has changed in their lives since the last time we talked. Jordan is indeed a very talented writer to be able to make 672 pages of pure exposition with no plot advancement interesting.In my opinion, Jordan has gotten bogged down. He has introduced too many characters and has gotten too attached to each of them. He is trapped in all this exposition and he can't figure out how to move the plot forward without dropping some threads. But he will have to. We can't hover on the brink of war forever.

Summary: Wheel of time fell of it's axle
Review: ONE reviewer suggested he was going to send his book back to Tor. What a frigg'n great thought. I'm all for it! Lets all pack our books up and send them to the publisher. I bet Book 11 will have Mat and Perrin married to eachother, Faile getting her groove on with her would be suitor, A two rivers bow breaking, and Rand have bed spring olympics with all of his ladies. The Shaido will learn to break dance and Elaine and Elaida will have a tag team mud wrestling match in two rivers wool for control of the tower.

Summary: Disappointing!
Review: I felt that very little moved forward in the story. While I enjoyed everything as I read, when I got to the end all I could do was say "Thats it?!?!" Two years is a long time to wait, and I hoped for more. None of the cliffhangers from "Winter's Heart" were answered, at least not completely. I would have liked at least one thing to get resolved. I guess my final vote is indeed, disappointing. Great reading, but at the end, I was not satisfied.

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: :::SIGH:::: What a big disappointment! Robert Jordan continues to "pad" his novels with too much background details to make this series last longer. The author lost touch with his readers and continues to shamelessly rip-off the public out of their hard-earned money. Keep up writing like this Robert and you will lose a LOT of your readers!

Summary: Like a jilted lover...
Review: There was no climax. Not since Melville's droning description of a whale's tail in Moby Dick or Dickinson's tireless ramblings about horses trudging up a muddied hill in A Tale of Two Cities have I seen such descriptive language used. For Jordan to keep the separation of characters is impressive. There is almost too much descriptive language in the book to be considered "recreational" reading. I can see why everyone is in an uproar. A large point of irritation is that the character, Rand, is hardly in it. Out of 680 pages of text, Rand appears in only 22 pages; only 3.5%. Every subplot left you hanging. There was no resolution at all. It is (I hope) a book to set the stage for the final conflict. It was much like running up a hill and being flung off a cliff, only to hang in mid-air. Jordan has created a monster snowball that just keeps getting larger and larger. It's got to be the most convoluted method for developing a plot I have ever seen. After the endless development here, I hope his next book has a little more action.

Summary: Building towards a great end...
Review: As I read the reviews for the WOT books i feel i am reading something from an impatient 1st grader. Starting with the first book i was hooked from the start. Unlike most people, I thought the books were great up to and including the 6th book. Yes the story has slowed some since then due to the huge amount of plot going on but its obvious the end is going to be worth the wait.
Every book from Crown of Swords on has been setting up the end. I too wish the books would come more than once every 2 years but i eagerly purchase every one and wish the story would never end in a way. I have read every book at least 6 times and will read them again.
The only reason for only giving this book 3 stars is that nothing really climaxes in this book. There are many plots that i am sure will finally be resolved in the next book though and cant wait..

Summary: Jordan's Weaved A Pattern He Can't Control
Review: ...P>Jordan has weaved himself a pattern that there is still no end in site. Nothing happens in this book, that couldn't have been writen in 200 pages. There is no movement of plot, and very little building of characters. He has 3 easy chances in this book to close certain plots, but instead he drags them on, and introduces new problems to these plots. You could easily skip this book and go straight into number 11, if it ever comes out, and not miss a step. Don't get me wrong, Jordan is as colorful and detailed as ever, and that is the problem, I don't need to know EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF EVERYTHING, just the main points! At this rate, the end won't come till book 15-20, and who knows if he is even going to be alive by then to finish it.

Summary: 674 pages of nothing
Review: I have loved the previous 9 books in this series and would rate them all 5's. This book, however, stinks. NOTHING HAPPENS. Most books have some sort of climax, this has none. I don't know what took him 2 plus years to write this but I hope I won't have to wait another two years to read the next book. I feel as though I wasted my money purchasing this. Do yourself a favor, borrow it from the library, this book isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
