This is a toughie. There are many reasons why this book is so notorious, but I'll stick with two reasons. The first is that the bulk of this book is people reacting to the admittedly awesome cleanse of saidin at the end of 'Winter's Heart'. It was awesome, but did we really have to read through all ...
I am generally a fan of the series and I thought this installment was mostly enjoyable. It drags on unnecessarily in a number of places, but I'm getting used to Jordan being long-winded (i.e. Character A asks POV character a question. There are then 2 pages of descriptive text discussing the setting...
I can't even. That's all I have at this point. Did I mention that I started shipping Mat and Birgitta? No? Oh, well. That's just another reason why this isn't working for me and will not. The horrible writing being the first. Damn me for being a plot girl.
I can hardly believe it’s possible that an author can write seven hundred pages worth of absolutely nothing. In this tenth installment, there was virtually no movement of the plot. This series has become a tedious glacier that is incapable of moving forward. Mat Cauthon is still fleeing the Seanchan...
Crossroads of Twilight is an ugly duckling in The Wheel of Time. Parts of the book are chronologically set in the same time span as the previous book and other parts are set in the 'current' time after the ninth book. Adding to the unorthodox chronological timing of this book is the fact that, of al...
Listened to the audiobook edition. Apparently unabridged doesn't include the glossary. Good thing I own the hardcover for reference and for the maps. Probably the slowest and least moving plot wise in the Wheel of Time series thus far.Using male and female readers helped especially with the switchi...
I don't understand how Crossroads of Twilight is one big book of nothing, when Winter's Heart and Path of Daggers were excruciatingly filler. It tops them for being the most pointless. I don't know how Jordan did it, but he did. In a way, it is a masterful ability to draw something out. Can you imag...
Understandably Maligned with Positives and Negatives Wrapped Together The tenth installment of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, Crossroads of Twilight, has been maligned from readers since it's publication and with understandable reasons. The story arcs of Perrin, Mat, Elayne, and Egwene ...
Okay, I think this was the first one that I never read (or never finished?) the first time through the series. I think I started it, because some stuff at the beginning was vaguely familiar. I wouldn't be surprised if I DNFd it, though...because I don't think anything actually happened. (Okay, som...
Ok so I love this series, therefore I can say this, arghh, so bloody boring! Honestly, it works when you read it for the first time but these middle books are NOT re-read books. By the Gods no.Rand did..something.Elayne and Egwene makes me sleepy as always. Totally skim chaptersPerrin is trying to r...
