Title: another disappointing jordan book
Review: Robert Jordan's newest Wheel of Time novel, Crossroads of Twilight just can't keep my interest. The first few books in the series were well written and full of new ideas. Now that Jordan is finally starting to tie things up (a relief), he is unable to maintain the excitement of previous work. He has so many different plot lines that he is keeping track of and such a high level of intensity in all of them that it is difficult to care about any of them. The characters that were stubborn in the beginning are still stubborn now. They have developed in skill and experience but not in wisdom, and that adds to the problem. Why care about characters that are always the same? What is noble or worth admiring in a character that does not grow? If you want a good read, I suggest you try the Robert Jordan. If you read this series anyway, you are likely to get hooked, like me and just have to finish it despite your better judgement.
