Summary: Fool for paying for this book.
Review: Now that I have read the book and have been utterly disappointed, I now wish I should have just waited and borrowed the book from the bloody library.I was a very die hard Jordan fan, but now I just feel that Jordan is squeezing as much money as he can from us with this series! All you die hard Jordan fans will disagree, but imagine waiting every two years since the beginning and end up reading this bloody balony of a book! Half of this book happened before the end of Winter's Heart! What's that about? He should have included that in that book instead! And about the great endings of the WOT books. What ending! There was no great ending! Cmon Jordan! Get your act together! Stop listening to your publishers to drag the book on to reap in the profits! pfffft! *thumbs down ten times over for this book*

Summary: The Series that just won't die ...
Review: This series is going absolutely no where in a hurry. The author has so many minor character story lines still going its ridiculous. What started out as a series that moved ... kept you engaged has turned into a crawl the last several novels. Did he change editors? Read something else ... maybe the rest of the series will quietly die or show up for free at a half-finished unreadable rummage sale by 2025.

Summary: Too bad I can't give it a zero.
Review: The essence of the book requires at most 10 pages. Otherwise, it's mostly looking at trees and changing dresses. Now would be an excellent time to utilize your local library.

Summary: Do not waste your time...
Review: Just like everyone else, I was so caught up in the first 4 books in this series, and figured in book 5 we would have a gripping conclusion to the series. OK, maybe Book 6. OK, definitely Book 7... Repeat. Repeat. Here we are in Book 10, and all I can say at this point is that Robert Jordan and his publishers must just be laughing at us all the way to the bank. Do yourself a favor... don't buy this book. ...

Summary: Less and less each time.
Review: The first book of this series was a wonder. In each succeeding volume less and less happens. In volume 10 we have reached the point where basically nothing of interest happens at all.

Summary: Book Ten of the Waste of Time
Review: Book 1 didn't interest me, but books 2 through 6 blew my socks off. This was an intense quest fantasy with a beautifully developed world, likable characters that grew and changed throughout the story, and a world shattering story that would rock the foundations of Earth (and seems to take place on Earh, be it future or past, or perhaps both). Around book 7 it began to slow down, and book 8 was missing half the book. Book 9 had one very significant event. That brings us to Crossroads: 700 pages of nothing. At least books 7 through 9 there was some character development. In Crossroads, Jordan merely asserts what has already been established. The characters still worry about the same problems they have been dealing with for the past couple of books, and oh gee what is that column of saidar doing out there? The main character, Rand Al'Thor, doesn't make an appearance until several hundred pages into the book, and it is a minor role at that. Nothing is advanced in the plot. There is one significant event at around page 675 of a 700 page book (and the last 20 pages or so is the glossary). To say we are in a lull in the series is a grave understatement. The story has come to a screeching halt that the one power might be able to start up again, something Robert Jordan can't (or won't) do. I do enjoy reading character driven stories, and the Wheel of Time is certainly that. But I'm giving this one star simply for wasting the readers time. The last three books could have been packed into one fat (phat?) book which would have been a phenomenal read. Instead, it's dragged out with meaningless minutia that doesn't advance character or plot. Guess the main characters don't have enough experience points to fight the dark one yet. As of this writing, Crossroads of Twilight has about 1270 reviews with an average of 1.5 stars out of 5. Even Path of Daggers had some 3 out of 5 stars (last I checked). Given this (and reviews in general) I think Jordan may realized he's pushed this too far and bring the series to an end. Who knows, it might only take another ten books.

Summary: What was I thinking?
Review: After the last 3 books I should have known better than even think this book would be worth reading much less spending money on. I should have got something more exciting like Plato's Republic. It isn't like I absolutely have to have to have to have a book with lots of action but it should at least hold my interest past the prolouge. The fact that I got through it is a prodigious achievement for me, one which I shall never try again unless I am highly medicated. One star is more than this book deserved.

Summary: Uninspired
Review: Like many reviewers here I had been initially angry becasue of the lack of pace in CoT; also, the number of pages which are pure filler, where nothing happens seems to increase with every book in the series and this is kind of annoying I am not angry anymore. I think that Jordan simply lost his inspiration; both he and his publisher are likely to be desperate by now but what can one do?! Robert is not the first one who has fallen out of graces with the Muse and he is not the last. It is tempting to speculate what closed the channels through which this world we all came to love was taking shape... Oh well, I just hope we learn more about the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn.

Summary: Why was this written?
Review: This is the first review I've written. I usually just read the reviews written by other people but I felt compelled to write one about this book. I cannot understand why Mr. Jordan wrote this book. The book goes nowhere. A lot of characters I've never heard of, or will probably never hear of again were introduced. Absolutly nothing was accomplished, moved forward or resolved. What a "LET DOWN". I really like the Wheel of Time series, but if Mr. Jordan can't come up with anything better than this book, he has lost himself a reader.
