Summary: stop buying Wheel of time
Review: Well after reading the 10th installment of WOT, it is time to rebel: let's stop buying the wheel of time series. His disrespect of readers, female characters (unbelievably power hungry and bitchy), and love for unneeded violence and torture shows increasingly and the plot is at a dead end.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Argh....
Review: Mr. Jordan...for the love of...I know you intend this series to be your life's work but please don't making reading it, mine. The last 3 books have become tedious to the point of me only reading it the bathroom. I read the first 5 one after another with great delight and interest. Now you write in 500 pages what you could in 100. If I hear about mulled and spiced wine one more time I may do something drastic. PLEASE stop with the enless desciptions of landscapes and clothes. ADVANCE THE STORY!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst of the WOT yet!
Review: I really enjoyed the series and was wildly excited for the 8th and 9th book. The Path of Daggers diappointed me since it took forever just to do a few items. The plot is slowing.I ordered the 10th book hoping that the plot would start moving. Unfornunately, this last book was the worst of all. The characters appear weak and Rand has just about stopped doing anything.The best part was the beginning with Mat and that just left the reader hanging.
The worst thing is that 3 months after I read the book, I could not remember if I had read the book or anything about it. If a book is not memorable, it is a failure.
I think if the next book comes out,I will not waste my money, but buy it used in the forlone hope that the editor is doing his job to tighten the plot and advance the action of the book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Jordan only wants the money
Review: The only possible reason for this book is so that Jordan can pad his bank account. Here is a suggestion for those of you who had read the last 9 books. Go to a book store, read the last two chapters, and you know everything that you need to know to stay in the series. The worst thing we can do is continue to purchase these books until Jordan puts something into them. I made the mistake of buying, please don't do the same. Of course, if you are an insomniac, then read on.

Summary: WOT Changed my Life, COT just about Ended It
Review: Eye of the World was the first book I ever read for pleasure reading. I absolutely fell in love with it. I have been biting my nails waiting for every new release. I forgave Winters Heart for dragging because of the amazing Ending.

Crossroads of Twilight had nothing. It kept going on and on about characters that I couldn't even keep straight. They are all minor characters who have names spelled very closely.

I think I have officially Switched over to Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind. (A new novel about once a year instead of every 2 and there is absolutely no plot lagging there)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad. Very bad.
Review: Wow, what a poor excuse for a novel and WoT book. Terrible, slow, boring, horrendous...
I really hope Jordan kills this series soon and gets back to his earlier writing style asap.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointment abounds
Review: I was greatly disappointed in this book. Compared to Book 9, this could have been about Little Orphan Annie.
The only action takes place in the first few pages. Nearly 350 pages are taken uup with "deep" insights of the three major female characters. There is no conclusion or even a hint of one. The three male heros are left in limbo.
I think that Jordan is using The Wheel of Time as his annuity. I expect another ten in the series to keep his royalties coming in.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NOTHING HAPPENED!
Review: this book is extremely frustrating. robert feels it necessary to spend pages describing Aes sedai who say one line and then u forget about them, he uses the word snowy incessantly and worst of all, nothing happens in this book. its been over 600 pages, and nothing happened at all. none of the characters even find out who is truly causing their problems, so they cannot begin to fix them. dont read this book, just go online and look at a summary.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Think I'll read the Cliff Notes from now on.
Review: Well, What can be said about this book?

The first few books of this series were fantastic, but the last three books, and a large part of the seventh one have seemed nothing more than fluff. The story is not advancing in any measurable fashion and the books are getting more disappointing as time goes on.

I will give an example. In the previous book nothing really important, or gripping, happened until the last chapter. That's 627 pages of nothing!!! Then the last chapter is a whole whopping 25 pages long! All the activity that happened over the course of that book was about enough to make 3 or 4 chapters.

What does this have to do with this book? Well, the first 400 or so pages in this book take place at the same time as the last chapter in the previous book! I place that at about 10-12 hours time! Then continues in the same drab fashion as the last one, with a touch of spice at the end for the cliffhanger. The set up in this book still gets us nowhere near what is needed for the series finale, leaving me with the impression that there will be at least one more book of fluff before anything interesting happens

It feels as if the author is more interested in getting the money for the sales now than in providing an entertaining story. I do not recommend this book, and will wait to see the reviews for the next book before considering purchasing the next.
BUYER BEWARE!

Summary: Loosing Impetus
Review: I want to be fair and objective about this series so, I have to begin by saying that the first 4 volumes were excellent. Since then, however, the series has gotten progressively more boring. If Brian Jordans ambition was to see how long he could drag out a story he has succeeded. The earlier tension and plot have been lost and much like Terry Goodkinds' "Wizards 1st Rule", the "Wheel of Time" seems to have lost its way. Every book, and this one is no exception, introduces a stream of new characters whose purpose in the tale seems ornamental at best. Please finish this series in the next book.
