Summary: 650 Pages and we are no further
Review: This book was not bad, just slow and uneventful. Jordan spends a lot of time descibing unimportant and irrelevant things. After reading the book, you almost start to wonder if he is trying to drag his story out as much as he possibly can. I almost wish I had waited until the paperback came out because nothing changes in the end, you could almost skip the book and read the next and not be lost.

Summary: Boring
Review: Can I get my money back? You could read the review from Publishers Weekly and know everything there is to know about this book. This was 600+ pages of dribble. Let's start getting to the meat of things.

Summary: Cash Cow
Review: Man I sure wish I could write something like the WOT series. I'd milk it for all it is worth every last penny like Jordan is doing. Other reviewers have called him a master storyteller and to stick with it. If I read another 1 page description of what one of the characters is going to wear(or is wearing) I'm gonna burn the book. I got news for the people that "think" him a master storyteller: A master does a whole lot better job keeping you interested in his work. And keeping you interested is NOT being so descriptive over and over and over and over. It just looks like filler for the word counter. I loved this series as much as I have the Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind, but man it's really starting to get boring.

Summary: Duh?
Review: The overall rating of this novel..... is a two. I don't understand why people are so ignorant. So this is nearly seven hundred pages of setting up events for the next installment; It is needed. People have gotten so used to the action in the first eight novels that they don't understand that to truly create an intricate novel you must have to scheming, the spying, the ideas, and the emotions that flow through the characters at any given point. I for one enjoy being able to sit down and read a novel that makes me think without immediately getting caught up in a battle.

Summary: Do Not Buy This Piece of Trash
Review: Nothing happens. Nothing happens. I say it twice to emulate the author. But I stop short of repeating it for 700 pages. This book is a disgrace. RJ should be ashamed of himself. His editor should be ashamed of himself. The pulished should be ashamed of themselves. Finally, I should be ashamed of myself for buying it after the other books in the series were so disappointing.Reading this book is like being stuck in an elevator with the musac blaring. A shot in the head would be merciful. RJ better hope I never catch him in an elevator!

Summary: Wait for the paperback
Review: I am an avid reader of the WOT books and own most of them in hardback. I made the mistake of purchasing No. 9 and No. 10 in hard back. I will not make that mistake again. This book is the worst of the lot. Better than a lot of other writers work but way below par for Robert Jordon. There is very little action and the story progresses very little. Book 9 and book 10 should have been combined. Also, this book does not have a climax that we expect from Jordon. (Book 1 to Book 5, etc.) I usually read every word and follow every line but this time I skimmed the book. That is how little content there is in this book. I think Mr. Jordon has become bored with this story and is having a hard time finishing the series. This book feels like he was being pressured by his publishers and he just put something together to placate the "masses". I hope he can finish it in a style befitting his earlier works but I am starting to doubt it. I bought this book from a book club in book club size. I will wait for paperback next time and go to the libary.

Summary: Can this wheel turn any slower
Review: The wheel is losing momentum, if ever an author bit of more than he can chew Robert Jordan is that man. Reading CoT is labourious at best and you have to question whether Jordan can enjoy writing such trivial stuff. With the advent of widespread traveling in the storyline the potential to move the pace of the book at lightening speed is there but Jordan does not utilize this asset instead he spreads the story so thinnly over 700 pages, you barely notice its there. Rand al thor hardly makes any impression in CoT after is monumental efforts in WH. Perrin spends is time pining after his kidnapped wife with no real success in rescueing her from the renegade aiel, this takes up hundreds of pages. The star crossed lovers Mat Cauthon and Tuon court but at an uncharateristcly slow pace, disappointingly little of the book is devoted to Jordans best comic character. The Aes Sedai manage to umm and arr thoughout the book, Tar Valon is no closer to capitulating and a tentive alliance with the Black tower is sought by the rebel Aei Sadei. Jordan suggests he can complete series in two more books. He can but not in his present writing style, which is too repetitive and dwells often on the contemplations of the various characters leaving no space in a chapter for the story to progress. To give some perspective, book 1 EoW covered around 9 months of the story, CoT covers a passage of around 3 to 5 weeks. We know that some of the execellant and strong female characters that Jordan has developed are pregnant or will be, last time I checked this process took 9 months unless Aes Sedai develope an accelerated pregnancy weave. So I suggest a minimum of 5 books will be needed to complete the series, this means that I will probably have gray hair by the time it all is finished and Robert Jordan will be writing into is grave as he so aptly prophesised. Maybe I'm a product of a fast living generation, if you think you fit into this description forget about reading CoT or any other WoT book. However if you got a couple of decades of mediocrity to fill, this passes the time and its cheeper than drugs. Just!

Summary: Prologue
Review: After reading book 9 I thought "next book will have more action", but alas no. Looks like Jordan wrote a prologue to book 10 and then went "heck why not just make it into an entire book". I'm soory to say this but it looks more like an attempt to making more money they writing like he did the first 8 books (wich just happen to be the best books ever written).

Summary: reader is helpless, i quit
Review: thanks so much for a 100 page 700 page novel. i think it is amazing that someone could compile a book called winters heart, baffle their readers with an emense amount of brainless babble about what color someone's skirt, birches, or dirt are, and achieve the miniscule task of crossing the street and stumbling through barely half of spring. this story line would have been extremely interesting had it happened in the prologue. i have supported you through ten books, however, if you really expect your readers to believe that your players are as stupid as you have them acting and wish to continue to insult my intelligence by continuing this epic beyond its' normal corse of life, then i quit you. i suppose that i may be alone in this opinion, but i duobt it!!!
