Summary: End It Now Please
Review: Oh for crying-out-loud, give it a rest will you Mr Jordan? Either kill someone out or close of some of these sub-plots 'cause I've found reading your pedantic novels mind-numbing. I've spent my last dollar on this series, and I suggest to you to STOP MILKING IT. As a writer, when you place unsolved/unresolved issues out there for the protagonists, you put the reader into a state anxiety. "Will so-and-so overcome this one? Will so-and-so sucumb/triumph?" Haven't really seen that yet. Just more pain and more un-resolved issues and a greater amount of anxiety as the "journey of reading pain" continues. I kept hoping you'd get somewhere. You're Lost. Stop by the side of the road, ask for directions. Buy a ...map!Take a page from other authors in Fantasy - Characters die, issues get resolved, character development advances - it does not stagnate. I give this work 0 stars (but am not allowed to) and wouldn't mind a rebate on my time and injury to my wallet. Just because folks don't understand what you've written, it does not make you a artist.

Summary: Jordan should have finished the series 3 books ago.
Review: I really enjoyed the first few books in the series; a unique, novel approach to fantasty. However, the last few books seem to be nothing more than an effort to draw the series out so Jordan can make more money -- Crossroads is the worst. The first 500 or so pages are simply fluff with no meaning or advancement of the storyline. When Jordan finally starts to move the storyline along, he moves it so fast you have to wonder what happened. Jordan had the opportunity to produce a classic series on par with Tokien and Lewis. Unfortuantely, he let the series get out of control. Pass on this book and wait to see if the next one finishes the series. If it does, borrow this one from the library and read the last 100 of so pages to prep you for the final book. If he doesn't finish the series in the next book, reread Tolkien and skip the series entirely.

Summary: Endless Twilight
Review: Sorry to jump on the bandwagon, but Mr.Jordan, please get a new editor! Crossroads of Twilight resolves nothing, adds new characters and complexity to an already overburden story line, and repeats the cycle of endless misery for Rand and his companions. Not even one "attaboy" for cleansing saidin? Faile no closer to being rescued? Nynaeve and Lan ignored? No change in the siege of the White Tower? If this keeps up, the last book will consist of nothing but the resolution of all the outstanding cliff-hangers! It would be a great benefit to readers to close some of the open story lines and perhaps even provide some long overdue happiness to some of the main characters. The Eye of the World is becoming dull. I pre-ordered this book, but am hoping I can maintain the discipline to wait for the next one to come out in paperback. Less expensive; less disappointment.

Summary: Great book, but there is still something to be desired
Review: There has been great excitement over the new WOT novel, especially in the past several months. All of us die hard fans have been salivating over the possibilities that Crossroads of Twilight had to offer. There is no doubt that everything that transpired in the book had to happen and should have happened. However, there was still something missing. Every WOT book had defining characteristics. Major events in the story are associated with the main theme of each novel. Crossroads of Twilight, however, has no such distinction except possibly at the very end where posible alliances are introduced. Those are not indicative of any real theme or progression in the book though. Crossroads of Twilight (COT) and Winter's Heart (WH) could be considered as one large novel. One could insert some of the sections of COT in between other sections in WH and there would be definite continuity. Loose ends in the story are somewhat tied up or are led to foreseeable conclusions. Prophecies are begining to be fulfilled and new plots and schemes pop up. The book is a page turner, no doubt, however with very little real activity that many of us were waiting for. With the expectations of wanting to know what will happen with Moirane, Rand, Mat, and Perrin, not to mention Fain, and the Forsaken, COT was a slight disappointment. And with the cliffhanger at the end that we will have to wait 2-3 more years for some sort of resolution, it left me wanting more. Overall it was a great book with logical progression of certain conflicts in the whole story, but, in my opinion, the weakest single book in the whole series. When reading you expect that the next chapter with reveal something new, or something you've been waiting to happen. This doesn't occur. It is my humble opinion, however, that after reading COT, Robert Jordan cannot finish the series in less than 3 more books. There are too many plots, subplots, that are yet to be addressed or developed upon before the end of the series. If he did so, I believe, it would be a complete let down.

Summary: Wake-up and Smell the Coffee
Review: Anybody who buys this book must be masochistic. The last book was a joke on the faithful readers who invested much time and money on this series(i.e. 200 pages on Egwene getting the Nobles permission to travel w/ her army--what a bore!). That was enough to convince me that Jordan has lost touch with reality.

Summary: Do Not Buy This Book!
Review: I love the WOT. The many characters, plotlines, cultures, settings, and general sense of history that run through this series are, in my opinion, second to none. I have spent many happy hours reading the books and avidly look forward to each new release. And then came Crossroads at Twilight. While I fully understand that this is meant to be a transitional book, I cannot comprehend why Jordan seems unable to nudge the plot forward even a millimeter. First of all, there is no climax to this book and the "prologue" is around 90 pages long, which comprises nearly 15% of the book. Second, I could summarize this book in 5 sentences - that's how little happens (I won't, though, because I hate spoilers). Third, Rand's, Matt's, and Perrin's storylines all resolve (and I use that word facetiously) with the same answer. Even worse, for 99.9% of her story arc in COT, Egwene is arguing with various Aes Sedai in her camp outside of Tar Valon. When she finally does take action, which is the "climax" of the book, it is given perhaps 2 pages and ends, like everything else in COT, with absolutely no resolution. To people who are fans, I can only implore you to wait for the paperback. To people who are considering starting the WOT series, wait unitl the last book is published. Otherwise, you are going to be very frustrated. Personally, I will give Robert Jordan one last chance. If the next book is as bad (and by bad, I mean glacially slow) as COT, I will give up the series. As it is, anyone who bought the hardcover version of COT should be entitled to their money back.

Summary: Wheel of Disapointment
Review: This chapter of the saga rambles on and on and settles nothing. There are no conclusions to any of the previous issues just lots of dialog and no action. Very wordy and boring. Jordan should provide some forward movement of the story lines and finish some of them, so he can start some new ones. I am very dissapointed, especially since I waited so long for this new book.

Summary: How did this get published!?!
Review: This is the first time I have ever read a book that has disappointed me so much that I wanted to write a review. Anyone looking for substantial plot advancement in the 10th installment of the Wheel of Time can just forget it with this book. While Jordan may have set up his next book(s) with several cliffhanger decisions made by his characters, nothing happened in this book that he could not have covered in 1/10 the pages. I cannot express my disappointment in finishing the book so quickly, only to look back and ask "Did anything happen?" in the book. (The answer is "no"). If this is to be the pace Jordan is going to use to finish the storyline, it may never get done. Rand hardly appears in the book, Mat's and Perrin's storylines move at a glacial pace (with no resolution) and the same is true for Elayne and Egwene. On the other hand, Jordan seems to delight in the introduction of new extremely minor characters and spends an inordinate amount of time describing them. I agree with other reviewers who complain that the influx of these new "characters" make the book very difficult to follow. This book appears to be an example of a publisher allowing an author to write a book merely to make some money while not saying anything. I don't want to reveal the few plot advances that did occur, but suffice it to say, there weren't many. Anyone wishing to read this book should get it at the library or, at least wait until it comes out in paperback. Paying for the hardcover is not worth the money.

Summary: Glimmers should be the title...slow, tried to be too clever
Review: This is book 10 of the series, start with Eye of the world and read up to this one. With that said, the prologue(Glimmers for the E-book readers) seems to promise much more story movement. I read and re-read this book in the last week to make sure I was not missing something. The pace is way too slow, not enough about Rand, the Aiel, fain, most of the forsaken, Nynaeve... Perrin gets stupid, Matt gets boring and Egwene is much too careless. Rand is almost an afterthought,what are his plans? what happened to the Choedan Kal? I spent the last three monthes re-reading the entire series and was looking forward to some big progress toward the last battle, disappointed is definately how I feel! This is not Jordan at his best

Summary: It is still a good book
Review: After reading some of the reviews for this book i had to write one myself to give it some justice. First I would like to point out that the publishers were pushing Jordan very hard to get this out quick, and on that note. The book itself is good. There really is not much to it, but if you have read the series then it has all the aspects that drew us in in the first place. It does a good job of showing us what is going on and some of the plot developments. On the other hand i too have been waiting for a while for it to come out and was hoping for much much more. Compared to some of his other books, this one is lacking some of the excitement, but it does do a good job of bringing us up to date and setting an exciting scene for book elevn.
