Summary: Big Improvement
Review: After Winter's Heart, I was skeptical of reading another WoT book, but Robert Jordan has redeemed himself. Crossroads of Twilight continues Jordan's epic WoT series and again has captured my interest.

Summary: Alright, but not as good as last 9
Review: I thought that the crossroads of twilight was a really great book. True, it didn't focus enough on Rand or him clearing away the taint which was what I was looking forward to reading. The story itself was good and the ending left me begging for more. What's happened to Egwene? I can't wait for the 11th book to come out. Hopefully Perrin finds Faile and there is more of Rand.

Summary: An industry problem
Review: This is not a review of the book so much as a review of the state of fantasy & sci-fi literature. We have a problem here my friends...a problem perpetuated by us, the fans. We are continually fed endless series by nearly every popular author for the sake of the allmighty dollar. The only person getting fulfilled by reading these bloated works are the author and the publisher. We, the fans, are forced to wade through up to 10,000 pages for a story that could (conceivably) be accomplished in a tight 600 page novel. Ask yourself: When was the last time you read a standalone fantasy novel?Yes I own the books, but Robert Jordan (and Tor) is one of the leading offenders in this area. Make a stand and stop buying fantasy & sci-fi series that end up turning into mindless drivel after a few books. These people (and companies) are publishing books merely for the sake of publishing and making money...not to tell us a story.

Summary: Crossroads of Twilight
Review: If you had more money than what you need, or less than there is enough and is contemplating buying this book ... i would strongly suggest to donate your hard earned money away. If the whole WOT series is a journey of a thousand miles, this basically puts you about 3 steps away from Book 9. I am into character building .. but really ... to this detail? The first 5 books was great, the next 4 was tolerable ... but Book 10 ...

Summary: Slowest installment yet
Review: I waited anxiously for 2 years before this 10th book in the Wheel of Time series came out. I read the reviews here and they convinced me not to rush out and get the hard-bound edition. Man! I'm glad I waited too! 820 pages of which only 1 chapter chronicled the activities of the main character Rand. Sheesh! Lots of talk about him, but almost none of the other supporting characters and substories interacted with him. In Book 9, he cleanses Saidin of the evil "taint" of it and yet none of the other characters even know about it. All my griping being said by many other fans of this series, I will still anxiously await to read reviews of the 11th book in this series before I decide to buy the hard-bound edition immediately or wait for the paperback one. I only hope that Jordan's remaining days of life will permit him enough time to finish this story before one or both of us die.

Summary: I liked it
Review: Why do you all waste your time if you do not like Jordan and why wasting my time to read your stupid reviews? Jordan's creating a world on its own and things in it don't allways develop like in action movies. More action, is that what's needed, ahh? Then watch TV, don't read books!!! There is an almost medieval intrigue in this last book and I enjoyed it fully but not everybody can

Summary: Is Jordan even trying anymore?
Review: This does it for me. I'll wait for reveiws of book 11 before I buy it. Book 10 continues the dragging style of the last few. Will anything ever happen again in the WOT series? I think not. Pretty much nothing happens to further the greater story arc. It was such a chore to read! Yuck. Terrible! What is happening to Jordan?!?

Summary: Why do we read this?
Review: K, the book stunk. Everyone with a brain, or at least any taste and reason agrees.
To the people who are enchanted with this droning series, good for you! I'm glad you have found something you like. Some people like women's golf, too.
Me, I am one of those people that will probably read the series until the end. This book and the two before it were terrible, and Robert Jordan will have to live with that at the end of his career, but I am excited to see how it ends.
To those who ask why we fans (or ex-fans) continue to read this, it's because we are hooked, and we want to believe that Robert will finally repent of his sins and restore the series back to its original wonder. If he ever does, I want to be there. Everyone knows that the first six books were a wonder, and that if the series had kept up its pace of awe and intrigue, this would be the best series in fantasy to date.
However, the reviews are right about the endless descriptions, braid-tugging nonsense, and lack of plot. There is no point in defending it by pretending it's higher-minded, political, dramatic, or anything other than boring. It's not a conspiracy to make money - RJ already has lots of money. It's just bad judgement on the part of him and his editor.
Please, Robert, restore this series to the heights from which it has descended. You have all the setup you could possibly want. Turn the key and set things in motion! I honestly don't care if the series goes on for 50 more books, and I don't want some hack and slash thrill coaster. But by the Light, please stop disappointing your fans that love you, destroying the series that made you, and ruining your own wonderful career with this droning, pointless nothing. Bring it back!

Summary: Awful!
Review: It stinks! Don't buy it. It's almost as horrible as Dune:The Machine Crusade by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, which is conceivably the worst book ever written.

Summary: Are you certain Jordan still lives?
Review: He's either senile or dead. No creater would allow a good series like this one go to hell-in-a-handbasket. I figure his kids are churning out the books while he rots or drools on himself. This cash-cow has long since dried up. I could write better than this and I stink on ice.
