Summary: Punch Line
Review: I am not at all anxious to have the story end. I am greateful that author is taking the time to develop the characters instead of finishing off the series. And then having us wish we knew more about what happened in the months that he skips so he can get to the punch line. I hope the author does not give in to the folk who want it to end but stays his course.

Summary: What a shame to waste so much paper on so little substance.
Review: I have been following this series since day one. The first 4-6 where outstanding. ... Crossroads of Twilight is painfully boring, devoid of action and continues to not move anywhere.... I have become very disappointed with this serious. I can't believe that the last 3 books of the series has taken well over 1500 pages to develop the meager plot that is contained therein. ...

Summary: A betrayal of our hopes
Review: A shocking disappointment. While Winter's Heart seemed to get the series back on track, this volume moves the plot barely at all. While Glimmers, the prologue available this summer, seemed to presage the lack of any plot development; I hoped it was not to be. However, some 400 pages in to CROSSROADS, when a chapter was spent introducing us to some minor and hitherto unknown Andorian nobles, I realized that my hopes were in vain. Nothing happens, and we learn new or interesting about anyone. The harshest indictment I can make of Crossroads of twilight is that there is no reason to read it. Mr. Jordan said he wanted people to finish his series and say "boy that was fun." I wish someone would tell him that at the amusement park, people go to enjoy the rides, not waiting in line for the rides to begin. This book is like waiting in those lines.

Summary: Did anything really happen?
Review: This book wasn't as bad as some here would have you believe. Really. I'm glad I read it, although if it weren't part of a series I've been reading for almost a decade, I would have waited for the paperback version to come out. It's well written. The dialogue continues to improve, Jordan's imagination is lively, and what happens is interested. But the plot has ceased to move. From what I can tell, 2 major decisions are made, and there's incremental progress in 2 subplots. That's it. The other 650 pages is spent in political intrigue that ultimately has no effect. Some of it is engaging, but certainly not enough to take as much space as it does. If Jordan can get back to his "book a year" pace, then I could stomach this. But 2+ years is a long time to wait for books that are increasingly uneventful.

Summary: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!
Review: This book is AWEFUL! This is one of the worst books I have ever read and certainly the worst that Jordan has ever produced. I have read all of the other books several times and even the worst (6 and 8) are wonderful compared to this garbage. If you were waiting for a book to skip or for a time to stop reading the series forever, this is the book! Nothing happens and just in case you are even slightly tempted to read it, here is the synopsis. Matt travels with a carnival and falls for the daughter of the nine moons, Tuon. Perrin follows his kidnapped wife, Faile, but does not even try to rescue her and he buys some grain with bugs in it. Rand makes a one chapter appearance and does nothing. Elayne works on getting the throne back and finds out she will have twins. Egwene is besieging Tar Valon by camping near it and at the end of the book, she gets kidnapped by unknown people while trying to change a chain in the harbor into Cuendillar. No one important dies and there are no big battles. That's it! This book was Jordans joke on us, don't fall for it!!!

Summary: Finally a WOT book to match its "Sweet" cover.
Review: Yet another 680 pages of turgid prose. PoD was bad, it was redeemed however by the battle at the end. I liked book eight (I can't even remember the name) for the battle with the Seanchan. This book however had NOTHING that was worth reading. Literally nothing. If you even go back to RJ's Conan books and those Fallon books you will find no peer to this garbage. Jordan has lost his reason.

Summary: and this took us where?
Review: While very well written, the book seems to be just filler...a way to make the series last longer. After waiting the extra couple of months since they decided not to release it until January, not to mention the time since the 9th book was released, I was totally disappointed. And I hate to say it since I am, or perhaps was, a dedicated fan, but I am starting to lose interest.

Summary: Why is this series so addictive?
Review: It's like the taint on Saidin. You keep turning pages, despite being sickened by the foulness, the bilgewater prose, the repetition, the sheer idiocy of it all. I swear Jordan must be trying to set a couple of records here. Aside from the "Longest Novel Ever Written" record he would appear to be aiming at achieving some level of superlative with regard to slowness of exposition. The first 350 pages of this book take place prior to, or simultaneous with, the events described in the last chapter of the previous book. That is, half of this nearly 700-page long book, doesn't manage to move the overall plot's timeline foreward by even a single day.

Summary: Skip it
Review: wait for it to come out on paperback. Or even better..get a friend to read it, then spend the 5 minutes it will take to get you caught up on the story. Nothing to see here...move along.

Summary: Give Jordan a break
Review: I really don't understand why people as so upset about book 10. I enjoyed it quite a bit and am awaiting the next installment. Jordan has been writing an incredibly involved and engrossing story with numerous side plots and spins and so it is no surprise that this book is supplying the information that is needed to advance the story as a whole. If you don't like the story, don't read the books. I thought it was great.
