Summary: And...nothing happened
Review: I just wnat everyone to know nothing worth reading happens in this book. There are two or three small details that you will figure out in the next book and you won't have to read 800 pages of filler to find it out.

Summary: Another Build Up
Review: Most people say this book is just plain boring, but I think that it is a really intricate book that deserves recognition. It sets up the next book in the series to where I'm sure it will be an action packed book, filled with political intrigue. If you're looking for a good book then I suggest you read COT.

Summary: Oy, with the skirt-smoothing and the braid-tugging!
Review: Egwhine smoothed her skirts and sat and pondered about the issue of what to do about the problem concerning matters involving the taking of the White Tower, first considered lo these many many pages ago. Then she had some mulled wine. But not just any mulled wine. This was the finest mulled wine in all of Randland, made from grapes that were as plump and ripe as the finest, sparkling cleavage and sparkled like a thousand silvery moons and that were trampled by feet as pretty as a thousand golden sunsets in the most gorgeous of all wooden tubs...Meanwhile, Mat sat there and thought about things and how nice it would be to have a plump serving girl on each knee and a great deal of ale. And Perrin, finding many weevils, weevils of considerable size and ghastliness, in his breakfast cereal, considered that maybe he would think about considering the possible rescue of his annoying wife Faile, whom he loved, deeply, more deeply than anyone who ever imagined anything imagined. Even though she was more annoying than someone hitting you with a carboard tube and saying "Yeeee! Yeeee! Yeeee!" over and over and over and still over again. And much, much, more did Perrin ponder over another bowlful of weevils, much that would ultimately, indeed, lead to much, much, more pondering... Nynaeve twitched and fidgeted and tugged her braid. In truth, no one was safe from her formidable braid-tugging. Not even the rough side of her tongue was as greatly feared. Anyway, as did her friends, so, too, did Nynaeve ponder and ruminate. And ruminate and ponder. Truly did she miss Lan and how he liked the color blue... And Rand ...sat there and ...brooded. And mused. And still brooded and mused till his brow darkened with the brooding and the musing and...oy! Dark One save us all!

Summary: Pretty Boring and Com[plicated
Review: When I first saw this book today at the store I was pretty excited because it had been a few years since I read one of these yarns. This has been one of my favorite series ever. Unfortunately I had forgotten the disappointment of the last 2 books in the seires but I was soon reminded. Who the hell are these characters? Where is Rand? I skimmed through the book looking for names of the main characters but all I found were minor characters whose roles I couldn't even remember. Unlike other reviewers who feel the series slowed down around book 5, I think it was good right through book 7. Great in fact. Book 8 I remember being dissappointed by and book 9 I can't even remember what thappened except for at the very end. Does Rand even appear in this book? Does anything happen? Jordan has some SERIOUS making up to do in the next couple of books. Why do I care about what happens to minor Aes Sedai? I want to see what is happening to Rand. Am I wrong or is he the main character? I am also sick of all the male-female relationships in these books happening at the level of 12 year olds. That has been my main criticism of the series all along. Other than that the first 7 were great and the last 3 really bad. Something has to happen soon. I hope Mr. Jordan is getting the message.

Summary: A Great, and Somewhat Misunderstood, book.
Review: It is indeed true that this book is quite detailed, and that the plot does move somewhat slowly. However, the series should be viewed as one gargantuan novel, and all novels have slower parts. These "slower parts" normally lead up to an exciting climax, and the stage that Jordan set in Book 10 will make for Book 11 very exciting indeed. Readers who first pick up The Eye of the World should have known that the series they chose to read would be a long, rather detailed one. Indeed, it is very much like an epic. While much of it is filled with detail, it presents a literary feast for those willing to truly enjoy it, and observe it as a piece of literature rather than a quick read.

Summary: This is one of the worst books I ever read!!!!
Review: I am done reading WOT!
Very disappointed with this book and the author. It is nothing but filler and filler and filler and ..... It will keep going for another 10 years and another 100 novels. I personally am stopping my reading of WOT books with this one. I am selling my copies of the earlier WOT books.

Summary: zzzzzzzzzz
Review: I fell in love with Robert Jordans world about 8 years ago. The charcters were rich, the story was intriguing, the writing was purposeful. I felt for Rand dealing with the reality of insanity and trying to protect his friends. All the characters seemed to have a heart a place in the wheel. But now we are inundated with every name of every peasant, aes sedai, king, queen, prince, lord, horse, dog, chef and lackey that Jordan can come up with. Obviously the publisher has seen Jordan's books as a cash cow and are trying to have him milk it out. The last few books could have easily been consolidated into one 700 page book. When you take a whole chapter to describe the quickness one can travel through a portal and yet it takes a whole chapter, it defies 'quick'. This may all be leading up to a grand finale, but who will care, who will be there. I think most readers will grow weary of the same old pace (if you can consider going no where a pace). I will now forgo any more WOT books, and read something worth while, like the phone book (it has a smaller cast of characters).

Summary: Wait for the next part
Review: As the other reviewer said: The book drangs on. It does not advance the story at all. I would not mind if the next book would be published anywhere soon. However, I don't think this will happen. My suggestion: If you have not read the book ten then wait until book eleven comes out and read them both right after the other. And if you are short on money or time you might even consider to skip book ten alltogether.

Summary: 600+ pages of nothing.
Review: Sigh....Anything I could say at this point would really be redundant (much like this book?), except that I'll admit Matrim's courtship of Tuon charmed me and made me laugh, so he gets the second star for that. Jordan really can't do characterization, can he? His characters feel like playing pieces he's moving around on a game board. Anyway, for a *good* fantasy series with convincing, well-drawn characters, one that actually makes progress from book to book instead of going around in circles, both plot-wise and with regards to character growth, check out Michelle West's Sun Sword books (The Broken Crown, The Uncrowned King, The Shining Court, and The Sea of Sorrows.) Mr. Jordan sir, read and learn.

Summary: Jordan no longer dominates the world Tolkien began to reveal
Review: I cannot recommend this novel. Read one of the many summaries that I am sure will be posted to the Web and wait for the next installment. Mr. Jordan needs to either admit that he's over his head and quit the Wheel of Time series or write a sequel loaded with the magical action that characterized the first novels in this series. Tor needs to realize that it is profoundly disappointing customers to the degree that, should Mr. Jordan produce another truly interesting work, all of us who were won during the early days of "Wheel of Time" might no longer care. The Times was correct to say that Jordan dominated "the world that Tolkien began to reveal" in the first, truly wonderful novels in this series. Jordan, apparently with Tor's approval, has created a crossroads for himself with Crossroads of Twilight. Travelers who do not know their way will pause at a crossroads and consider their options. Jordan's (and Tor's) options are to give up and go into the twilight, never resolving the story, or to produce a novel worthy of the mantle presented by the Times: publish something as good as _The_Return_of_the_King_. Your readers wait and hope you will succeed.
