Title: Pot Boiler Extraordinaire
Review: After the action and excitement of the first nine Wheel Of Time books, this one (Book 10) reads as though Jordan was half asleep when he wrote it. I'm a BIG fan of the series, but this book was the worst pot boiler I've ever read. There was virtually no action for the first 2/3 of the book. There were even words omitted. The book was some 700 pages long, and most of it was about the confused state of mind of the characters. There was just enough suspense at the end to make you wonder what would happen next, but then, that's what we thought after Book 9, and we got jack! To my relief, there was no more gratuitous titillation; but there was also no plot - none whatsoever. The story advanced maybe one tiny step. Not what I expected for my money and for my wait. Very, very disappointed. Scathingly so.
