Crossroads of Twilight (The Wheel of Time, Book 10)

Rating:
Summary: Jordan's Summer House
Review: "Crossroads.." is obviously filler material that either Jordan or his publisher insists upon foisting on the reading public. Its unfortunate that at a time when fantasy and sci-fi have finally won some semblance of respectability, a snake-oil rip off like this (not to mention the last two books) rears its ugly head. Shame on Jordan. Shame on the publishing house, and shame on me for spending my money on this poorly disguised attempt to fund a vacation villa for Mr. Jordan.

Summary: ARGH=>never pre-order ZERO STARS!!!!!
Review: I made the mistake of pre-ordering this book. Never again, never. I totally agree with most of the reviews except one, i no longer have hope this series will go anywhere=>no hope. there is a term that discribes this book BORING, SPACE KEEPER, CONTRACT FULFILMENT.

Summary: I wish they had negative numbers!
Review: That was the worst book in the series. I sat there hoping that there would be at least one battle, there wasn't a single one. I can summarize the book very easily, Rand cleanses the source and that is all. It didn't even talk about how that happened, there was just one pillar of Saidar and Saidin. Talk about a waste of a book.

Summary: Where is the other half...
Review: After finishing this book, I got the feeling that there should have been at least another half a book. It doesn't follow the normal plot line with in a greater plot line that has marked the rest of the series. (You know, a begining, a middle and an end with a climax somewhere) This book ends in the middle. I have to wonder if Jordon actually wrote a much longer book and Tor balked at the thought of publishing the whole thing and forced Jordon to split the book in half. I hope this is the case as the next book in the series will hopefully be released at a much quicker pace than this one was.

Summary: Worst book of the series
Review: I am a big fan of the WOT series. In fact I am re-reading this series from the beginning. This book must be the worst of the lot. I am tired of same old drivel repeated over and over. We all read a thousand times how imperious Aes Sedai are, how tough the wind finders and wind mistresses are, not to speak of the wise ones. It is ridiculous filler to keep reminding the reader of the same cr...p. We are not stupid.
This book also has a thousand useless characters, from maids, to soldiers to Aes Sedai and on and on and on. They don't do anything, everyone is afraid of everyone else then they disappear never to make any diffrence to the story other than pages and pages of useless descriptions. I am a very patient person and I enjoy good prose and detail. This book is just detail about detail sake. 200 pages would be enough to make this book interesting. The rest of it is waste. TOR should be tarred for publishing this junk.

Summary: Wasted Time
Review: I have followed this series since the early times when something was happening. I am still wondering what happened in this volume. The protagonist was again ignored and what looked like some truly great movement from the last volume came to a complete halt. I will continue reading this series unless I die of old age. Consider that the next volume will not be out until 2 to 3 years from now and you will see that the author had better get serious about the movement of the plot or he won't ever finish it.

Summary: wheel of time grinds to a halt
Review: Apparently the wheel of time revolves at various speeds! In this volume, it finally grinds to a dead stop. Never were more words spent describing irrelevant and unremarkable aspects of scenery and clothing. Now that the wheel has stopped, perhaps the next volume will reveal it moving again ... in reverse. Ten volumes of flashbacks? Perhaps the same tales will be told from a different perspective, e.g., the view from the underside of all the fallen leaves, rocks, and snow he feels compelled to describe. I'll wait for volume 21, when things may begin to move *forward* again.

Summary: Crossroads of Twilight
Review: Crossroads of Twilight was extremely dissapointing, as were the last few books of the Wheel of Time series. It is as though the series is being dragged out for the purpose of selling more books to the thousands of hooked readers- like myself. I would be overjoyed if Robert Jordan would decide to go somewhere in his next book instead of the state of limbo things seem to be currently in.

Summary: 700 pages of nothing
Review: I loved the first 7 books in the series. The past few have just been about making a buck so you will buy more books. NOTHING happens in this book. Did I need to read 700 pages to find out that all the characters are in exactly the same spot as they at the end of the last book? PLEASE! I'm writing to the publisher to complain

Summary: 2 years of waiting for horse [poop]
Review: If I had the chance to meet RJ I'd have only one question for him... No, nothing about the charecters that were and still are great.. No, I'd ask him why I should even bother to continue to read this saga. maybe, Just maybe, if he took the last 200 pages of POd and the last 200 pages of WH, and nothing at all from this latest book, then maybe he would have came up with a book worthy of my money and more importantly time. The sad truth is we'll still buy the hard covers and make this clown more millions... I wonder if he has even read what he's been putting out... truly a sad case for what started off so brilliantly
