Summary: 795 pages of filler
Review: I understand that when writing a series there is some pressure from the publisher to get the next one out. I have read literally hundreds of fantasy novels and this rates as the worst one to date. I love the Wheel of time series but have never read a book that spent so much time describing the minuture of meaningless detail that fills at least half of the pages of this book. If you are looking for anything about the central character Rand then expect to see about four pages worth. This book could have easily been condensed into two chapters and filled out with a lot more interesting writing. You could skip this book and probably not notice it when book eleven comes out.

Summary: excellent series
Review: In this instant gratifaction, over violence, blood soaked society most people can't releize an incredible read even if it dragged then down an alley and beat then with in an inch of their life. The only way you will not enjoy these books if you are one to only enjoy teenage style slash and hack / over action no plot or charecter development books. With that said.... I have read all but the most recent of this series, (Crossroads) and the plot and charecter detail are astounding, you see exactly what the writer has envisioned this world to be down to typical personal habits, and what they are wearing down to the earings and or lack there of. You see the world unfolded in your mind as you continue to read. As you go from one set of charecters to the next there is some piff but that doesn't last long as the next plot is just as detailed and well written and when that plot the same piff and continue :) They way that he expands make you want to hibernate in a cozy area of your home and devour the book, untill it is done, but glad that your time isn't that free because then you wouldn't be able to string out the world you are living through these books.

Summary: 672 Pages of Nothing
Review: This book was utter crap. Nothing happens in the entire book. I'll not be reading another one of these books until the last one is finally published.

Summary: This book is amazing!?
Review: This book was a perfect blend of suspense and action. I was distraught when I read the negative reviews pertaining to this book. The one thing it could do without is the is the things concerning the love between Min,Elayne and the Aiel Women as well as the statement "She showed a little to much bosom" which gets pretty old since it pertains to almost every female in the book. To the people who wrote the less than flattering reviews about this book, STOP READING!! come on, was someone holding your eyes open. Blood and Ashes, go back to your world of little midgets riding on dolphins in oceans of liquor. you can talk when you write a book better than "Small animals I have eaten." Burn you, You water-soft Sheepherder. I'm Out

Summary: Scowl!
Review: I have read all ten books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, and the last 5 or 6 books have steadily decreased in quality. While I understand Jordan's desire to build a great tapestry of characters and plots, there's a point when enough is enough. And that point was crossed long ago. In Crossroads, we encounter the same fustrating format that has been used in the recent Wheel of Time Books. There are too many subplots. It takes a long time for the reader to finally get interested in what is happening in one subplot, and by the time you are finally not bored, the story cuts to another subplot, and you have to troll through another subplot. It is real drudgery, especially since the book is written with excessive detail in all things. Next is the problem of character multiplication. It seems as if there are an endless number of characters, whose names are all very similar. Given the amount of time it takes for a book in the series to get released, it is simply impossible to remember who is who. And most of the characters are meaningless and play no important role, with new ones seeming to constantly appear. To make matters worse, all the characters are the same. They all have cold stares, scowl every minute, or constantly smooth their skirts and cowls. All of them seem like a real drag to know and all with too much hubris. A million Aes Sedai and Aiel and Seanchan are all running around, and I really can't keep track of who or what anymore. I think the story has gone downhill ever since the death of Moiraine. I am sick of Rand and his Lews Therins psychobable, all the men having not a clue how the women think, and all the women seeming to think they are above each other. There is simply nobody interesting to read about in the book, way too many characters and subplots. The only thing worth looking forward to is when Rand unleashes his power and ends the series for good.

Summary: nine other books plus peer pressure
Review: I didn't read this book, but after reading reviews of the other people, and having read the other nine books in the series, I'm convinced it must suck, and I feel compelled to write a review. While the first few books of this series held my attention and held promise, everything after quickly goes on a downward spiral. And, I know one needs to reintroduce things to some extent, so that fools who start the series on the 4th or 8th book can know what's happening. HOWEVER, after those first few books, it seemed about 300 pages per book were uselessly wasted repeating stuff from prior books. I really think the nine books I read could've been published in only five or six volumes had that repetition been left out. Even worse though, the plot seemed to become less and less present as the series went on, with lots of little unimportant stuff and unimportant people dragging the story out.
So, PLEASE, don't waste your time and money on this series like I did. And, if the author is reading this, its most certainly impractical to reimburse those of us who read your books here, either for time or money, but please - PLEASE - end the series and let us all move on!

Summary: This doesn't deserve 1 star
Review: I'd just like to tell Mr. Robert Jordan: You are not getting another penny from me. NOT ONE. This is must be some sort of horrible and sick joke you are playing on the people you excited with the first books of this series.
I tried, I really, really tried, but I could not finish the book. It turns out, there were so many other interesting things I could do, other than read this drivel.
How much more money can he honestly think we will spend on this endless dreck? I want the time I spent trying to read this book back. Find something better to do with your time and don't read it. Well even if you do, you won't be able to tolerate it long enough to finish.
Keep this up, and we'll be burning you in effigy.

Summary: I'm tugging my braid
Review: This book stinks. I really enjoyed the series for the most part, although things started to seem pretty pointless in places beginning with "Crown of Swords". I thought the ending of "Winters Heart" was absolutely spectacular, and it really excited me about this book (the next in the series). However, this book was a total let down. It totally defused the climax of the last book since NOTHING HAPPENS. Ok, stuff happens, but it doesn't advance the plot, it just stalls it. Endless new side plots, worthless new characters. Personally, I don't care how long Robert Jordan takes to wrap up this series. HOWEVER, advance the plot, you jerk. If it takes five more books to tie everything together and end it, then so be it. But start tying it up. It's time to end side branches, bring people together, and stop introducing new characters and plot lines.

Summary: No excuse for Robert Jordan
Review: Why is it okay these days for a setup piece to be dull? If anything, a setup piece should hook the reader in, make him want to read to the finish. Falling action belongs at the ending of a work, not in the middle, and falling, falling, falling is all this series is doing now. Yes, it is high time Robert Jordan wrapped it up. His descriptions and language are getting repetitive, as can be expected in a series of this length - not that that excuses it. I feel that his style is very dry and unexciting in the first place; with big ol chunks of straight, in-your-face, clunky, repetitive description, it seems exponentially more sleep-inducing. Not recommended for public consumption, this book. At least I won't want for toilet tissue for awhile.

Summary: depressing
Review: As many have said already, it was long and dry. The details were laborious, the weather, the buildings, and expecially the dress and actions. Most of the book is that, details which get to no where. The book has the feel of setting the scene for the next stage, yet in and of itself, nothing happens. The last 2-3 chapters tell all that is really important
