Summary: 3 years for this?
Review: I can't believe I waited 3 years for this. The book would not have been so dissapointing if the time between editions had only been a year. If I have to wait 2 or 3 years for the next book I may not finish the series, it has proven to not be worth the wait with the last 3 books.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Waste of time
Review: I'd just like to say that this book is a waste of time to read, unless you like overly long descriptions of places and characters. The plot development could be summed up without leaving anything out on probably one or two pages. The rest of the book is just long and overly detailed descriptions. I suggest you find a summary of the book and read it, instead of wasting your time on this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tired of this series
Review: Jordan is still dragging this out...Ten books is more than enough...Let it go...Anyone who reads this book will notice that next to nothing is accomplished from the end of book nine to the end of book ten...It is nearly a complete waste of time as far as the story goes...And HELLO, Rand is the main character yet he is almost completely missing from this book...Very, very disappointed!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I've Been Waiting For The Battle for the Tower since Book 6!
Review: After I read the piece of absolute horse manure that was _The Path of Daggers_, I vowed that I wouldn't buy another Robert Jordan book until Egwene's forces finally began the battle to retake the Tower. When Winter's Fart came out (no, I didn't misspell it), I immediately discovered from a friend that, indeed, nothing happened. So I waited. Surely Book Ten would finally bring on the battle I had been waiting for since Egwene became the Amyrlin! And guess what! Nothing!!! Absolutely nothing!! We're still waiting for it! I have come to the conclusion that Robert Jordan has died and TOR has hired ghost writers to string out this worthless cash cow for all they can get. I will keep my vow and wait until the battle finally occurs before I read another stinking page of this garbage, but at this point, I'm not holding my breath.

By the way, I give five stars to the wonderful reviewers of this book. Perhaps we should all get together and finish writing this series ourselves. I guarantee something would finally happen.

Summary: Less than ZERO
Review: is what I wish I could rate this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Too many subplots
Review: There is no doubt, Robert Jordan is a master story teller. He has the ability to weave words into a three dimentenal reality. Crossroads of Twilight is however one of his less adapt works. Jordan juggles multiple subplots, each in devestating detail. The problem being that the work suffers from a distinct lack of action. Any of the subplots would make a book in itself. Only a few chapters are devoted to each subplot. As such none of the subplots move more than a few paces. The master,would be better served by devoting more time to each subplot. This book is otherwise excellent, and a must read for the continuity of the series.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I hate to be negative but...
Review: I am a WOT fan. I have enjoyed this series, even through a couple of less...enjoyable...books. However, I am afraid I have to join my voice to all the others who have bashed this instance of the series. .... Pure and simple.

First of all, the first 300 pages should have been in the previous book. I don't mind a flashback to the previous book in the prologue (like those experienced in previous books) but 300 pages worth of it? Get serious.

Halfway through the book, we finally start reading material that would fit into the new book and, aside from some mediocre advances in the Matt/Perrin plots, nothing.

Don't get me wrong. The writing is still top notch but the plot just does not cut it.

Tor and Jordan better not make us wait another two years for the new book. If they do, Tor is better start looking for a new editor.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Warm Milk
Review: This book, while often read regardless of its quality because it is part of an involved series, is not worth the time of day. Reading this book is truly unnecessary. There are a grand total of 2 things that happen in this book that are necessary to know, and those can be gleaned by asking a friend or reading a plot summary, as each can be summarily noted in a sentence or less.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Neverending Soap Opera
Review: OK let's just ignore 99% of the cast of thousands,resist the temptation to drag in another battalion of new characters and wind this series up. I'll bet it could be done in two more books, max. Not a whole lot happens in this installment.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Drop this, read Martin.
Review: This series is the equivalent of watching paint dry. I would also give books six through whatever minus five stars. Quit wasting time and money and read A Song of Fire and Ice.
