Negative Positive
Title: Tragic in retrospect
Review: I really wanted to love this book. Some of the previous books were a little slow, but I still enjoyed them. This one did not do it for me. If you dig deep, some important information is passed along, and a few events of significance take place, but not enough to justify an entire novel. Everything of importance in here could have been worked into the subsequent book on a much smaller scale. When I did my traditional reread of the series prior to the Knife of Dreams release, I skimmed it, but did not bother reading it. It was not worth my time. I think the great tragedy is that if Robert Jordan had back the years spent on this book, he might have come close to completing the series before he passed on.
Is the review positive or negative?
