Summary: I can't believe it!
Review: Ugh! Book ten of WOT is even worse than book nine!Nothing happens! Doesn't RJ EVER read his readers' feedback? Or has he absconded with his writing fees and TOR is left ghosting for him? The ratings of one star is not earned.

Summary: Downright Ticked!
Review: I have been following this series from the beginning and have enjoyed every book (to varying degrees). Crossroads of Twilight absolutely stunk! There was almost no plot advancement, no action, and none of the page turning excitement that made this series a bestseller. Add to that Jordan's insults to those who thought this book stunk, and a lot of readers will put this series down for good. The only reason I will even consider reading the next book is because the series has been so good up till now. However, I will wait for the new book to be out for awhile so I can check the reviews before I buy it. You could skip this book entirely and not miss a whole lot. I think I will burn it - at least then it will have one redeeming value: heat.

Summary: Broke down as I didn't want to wait on the paperback...
Review: I started reading this series by accident on one of several deployments to Southwest Asia...as for all the people complaining about this latest installment all I can say is this...If you think you can do better shut up and do it....this book should set up the ending it fills in many small intricate sub-plots...reading about the main characters all the time you can end up missing some of the influencing factors that are causing our heros to act the way they do. It's good to finally get a glimpse of the undercurrents that are pulling the pattern.

Summary: Crossroads of Twilight
Review: This book is like a cruel joke. After finally moving the novel along in book 9, Mr. Jordan reverses course and writes the most worthless book in the series. The first 70 pages is devoted to new groups that readers could care less about, and the next 600 or so don't bring this novel any closer to an end. Nobody does anything. The entier novel is written only to set up the next book. As slow as everyone has moved in this book, I think its covered about 6 months with the last 4 years of novels, Mr Jordan actually has the nerve to start the story with each group, about 4 days prior to the end of book 9. It would be nice to know that after reading this series for almost 8 years that we were finally getting close to the conclusion. I wouldn't by this book unless you need paper to start a fire with.

Summary: Crossroads of Twilight and Twilight of a loooong series
Review: I eagerly anticipated the release of Robert Jordan's latest in the Wheel of Time series. I could not wait for paper back, so purchased the hard cover. Half way through this 700 page epic, I realized that there had been no Trollocs, no Myrddraal, no Draghkar, and believe it or not BARELY any Rand al'Thor! Jordan did an exquisite job of documenting prattling Aes Sedai fiddling with their dresses and welding Saidar to heat their tea, but that is hardly the hallmark of this series. By the all too long end of the book, there were no plot lines resolved from books seven or eight or nine, and only weakly discernible plot lines established for book 11. While confused, I remain resolute! I will pick up books 11 through 15 at a yard sale in 2008. I would think by then the good guys have Tar Valon, the Dark One has a black eye, and Trollocs are sent to live with the Seanchan. I know the next Age takes quite a while to get here, but this is ridiculous!

Summary: Hey ! Why buy bad books
Review: I've read the other nine. Agree that Jordon has lost the plot. I'm NOT buying this one. Maybe this will get the point across. If 11 looks good, I'll buy that, read the synopsis and continue on. If not, bye bye book sales Mr. Jordan.

Summary: Setup? SETUP??!!
Review: I am in agreement that anyone who puts more than one star on this review must desperately want a pat on the head by Senior Jordan. Books 8 and 9 ARE the setup!! They would have been total losses without the few money scenes. Book 10 was supposed to be their payoff! It ended up being a barren landscape devoid of activity - with movements so slow they actually travel back in time from the ending of the previous book. This way Jordan can extend the boredom further than any author has ever tried. Don't feel bad about having wasted your time reading this one. Just think how RJ felt when he lost a bet with his TOR buddies and had the choice of either writing a book where nothing happens or showing up naked to book signings. I think he made the sensible choice...

Summary: How the mighty have fallen...
Review: I've spent the last 10 minutes reading the reviews posted prior to mine and I've got say I agree. Last time I checked, the main storylines/characters were Rand, Mat, Perrin and Egwene. Rand hardly appears until the end - Mat's bogged down in a confusing/annoying courtship ritual - Perrin's grain-buying excursion reminds us of better, more productive writing, but the whole thing remains unexplained. (WHAT IS UP WITH SO HARBOR?! I don't understand how description of the Hall's dresses warrants pages and pages but we don't deserve a clear picture of the 'Night of the Living Dead'.) Finally, Egwene and her frustrating gaggle of harpies do absolutely nothing except reminisce about their days in the Tower until the last page. THEY CAN TRAVEL AND THEY'RE JUST SITTING THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER!! Speaking of travelling... everybody's wondering about this 'Forsaken weapon'. Why not open a small gateway, stick your head through and ask someone close to Rand for an update. After all, Egwene and Rand GREW UP TOGETHER!! But I guess that would only make the book shorter and Jordan would have to fill it with other inane maunderings. I've been reading Jordan's work since before WoT. He was one of the best authors to take up the Conan mantle and his series started breathtakingly. Now, I just find myself wishing that he would just grow up and stop talking about dresses. Personally, I believe Jordan has developed a specific form of writer's block. He claims to have known the final scene since 1984 but I don't think he knows how to bridge the gap between now and that scene, so he trundles along scratching his head and dipping his pen and jotting down whatever comes to mind. (Either that or he's overcome with an insane desire to become a fashion designer) His claim that he's writing the series for himself is a convenient 'out'. I just think when you're putting food on your table with our money, you should start considering your fans and how your disregard portrays you in a bad light. Also, I don't blame TOR. If I had someone that's made me this much money, I'd play the blind/deaf/dumb monkey too. I'll give him the second star for throwing in some Logain stuff and for Faile getting beaten and tied up, but that's pushing it... If you're looking for a fantastic series, pick up George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones" (ISBN: 0553573403). As for me, I'll probably keep struggling through Jordan until he gets to his almighty "final scene".
