Summary: Wasted wanting
Review: When this book first came out in hardcover I waited...and bought the paperback. Now I'm really glad I didnt pay the exorbitant price of the hardcover. The speed of this 10th book is nothing at all compared to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd books.... it's slow! It all started going downhill for me starting from the 8th book. The characters are tedious now and although once I was fascinated by all the strong female characters in the series, now I'm tired of all their scheming and whining- the dirty looks... it's just plain annoying now. And I'm not even done reading the book yet! I find I'm having a hard time getting myself to finish reading the book. It's been so long since I've read the last book and who are all these new characters anyways?? It's getting too confusing and boring to read!
I'm not sure if I will buy the next one... I think I'm gonna go and read the old ones again.. at least those books were fun to read!

Summary: Please Mr. Jordan, pick up the pace
Review: Well, I am one of the suckers who cannot stop reading these books. I expect that I will continue to read them as long as they keep coming out, with the ever-fading hope that the series will someday end, and end well.Unfortunately, if the current pace continues, it will never end. In Book 10, nothing happened to further the plot. Perrin did nothing. Mat did nothing. Rand did nothing. The Forsaken did nothing. The Aes Sedai did nothing. Elayne did nothing. This book did nothing. But incredibly, I still have hope. Maybe Mr. Jordan will read all these negative reviews and try to pick up the pace in the next book. Maybe he will write an outline beforehand so he can plan what happens in the plot. This way he can make sure that something productive happens in the book. Although I was sorely disappointed with Book 10, I will continue to take read his books (from the library) as long as he writes them.

Summary: the wheel turns too slow for me
Review: i think you will all agree that this book was, by far, the worst of Robert Jordan's books. i expected better of him, but i guess this is the pinnacle of his talent. (sigh) however i think that this book could do with some revising, a lot of rewriting, and much more creativity and such. for example i don't care to read about the full-of-herself Elayne sitting in a bathtub pondering her life--pages turn and nothing happens. i also think that the characters lose more and more of their appeal (at least, to me). for example Rand is completely blocked out of most of this book and when you get to a paragraph of him it is when he is either mad, insane, angry, helpless, or desperately lost. what happened to the more interesting Rand you see in the beginning books? you barely can know his thoughts anymore. all i know is that i am tired of Mat saying "Bloody ashes" and people saying "Light help me" every other page. i am tired of dull and repetitive sayings and Rand, Mat, and Perrin complaining that they don't know how the female mind thinks and feeling sorry for themselves. i am tired of Perrin searching desperately for his dearly beloved stupid girl Faile since the eighth book (tPoD). i am tired of hearing Aes Sedai fixing their shawls and trying to seem emotionless. i am tired of the characters (Lan is ok), most especially the females. most of all, i am tired of skimming through the entire book (i finished in one day) only to find that i have wasted valuable time with this...this worthless thing. (forgive me for speaking my mind) :) please someone inform RJ that long and tedious books are a hundred times more torture than short and even remotely interesting books. :) i think he is a little out of his mind right now but that's ok. one must respect others. basically this is what i am trying to say: it was boring. i do not like boring things. nor do i intend to recommend this to anyone except those who i figure could do with some amount of torture. i talked to a friend and (s)he also agreed that Jordan is losing his mind and writing ability. hopefully he will pick up in the eleventh...no, maybe a hundredth...book. (not really) actually i think that it will take 77 years for RJ to complete half of the first half of the eleventh book... (ha) maybe we will not even live long enough to see the end of this series. which is pitiful because it was such an interesting beginning. one can only sigh at the downward slope that fantasy is at these Forsaken days. oh yes, have i failed to mention that RJ is wasting a great amount of good paper (which comes from trees which are very important for survival) in publishing this thing?

Summary: Don't look, don't buy and (for God's sake) DON'T READ IT!
Review: I don't have to go into much detail here - I can't say much that is different from the other hundreds of negative reviews already listed on this website. What I can say is that I am not buying anymore of Mr. Jordan's books. I was 21 back when I started reading this "epic" series - I'm now 34 and there is no end in sight. Mr. Jordan's longwinded style of prose, nauseating attention to detail and lack of any direction have now killed any future interest in these books that I may have ever had. Please take my advice and that of all of the other readers - avoid these books! Life is too short and the fantasy world is filled with much better authors than this one.

Summary: Absolutely terrible
Review: For the love of all that is good, please do as I have done and stop buying these books people. Stop saying "this is the last straw!" only to go out and buy the next installment. I have been "Jordan free" since book seven, which I couldn't even finish! These books should be boycotted and subsequently banned. Are you with me?!

Summary: Good Book, Bad Rep.
Review: I've seen alot of reviews on here saying that Jordan should haved stop writing after book 8 or that he is drawing out these books to make more money. If you don't like his books don't buy them. These books are pretty good they aren't the greatest, but they are a good read. The new characters and plot lines add to the story not take away there is only so much a person can do with the same characters, even someone with Jordan's talent. I read this book just before I left for Iraq and I've reread most of the books all over again while I've been out here, and I found them to still be good books to read again. Because some people want the books to end now doesn't mean that they should there is to much story that has not been closed and Jordan needs to do this to properly end this series.

Summary: Read First 8 Books Twice -- Sorry I Read This One Once
Review: Unbelievably bad, boring and frustrating. Jordon is now writing just to make a buck. What an insult to his loyal readers. I'm debating whether to even buy the paperback of the next installment. If it stinks as bad as this one I'm done with the series. Jordon should be ashamed of himself because he can't seriously believe his loyal readers would like this obvious stink bomb. The only explanation is that he is dragging out the story with unnecessary and excruciatingly boring details such as the color of mud on some peasant's boots just so he can sell a few more books. The book is a miserable disappointment. Given six weeks any hack could have written it. Watching ice melt would have been more interesting, and a lot cheaper. If you must read it, borrow it from the library.

Summary: Greed overcomes story-telling
Review: first book review I've ever done felt compelled to write this because the author and publisher have gone too far this series is overall a very good and the first 8 books are worth reading, but the author feels like he needs to drag out this cash cow as long as possible he continually adds unnecessary story lines and characters to delay the climax and mint more money for himself and his publisher I have never been as angered with a book as I am now this book is drawn out sludge and I hope Jordan gets this message and finally pens a fitting ending to this great series

Summary: what did you expect?

Summary: More!
Review: Too many complaints about the length and depth of Jordan's series. This book deepens the plot, expands the charachters roles, raises the level of anticipation and suspension. I can't imagine why anyone that has been reading the series would want it to end!?! Yes, many parts seem overly drawn out and Jordan is overly descriptive, but once again, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for book 11 to come out.
