Title: I give up!
Review: I have continued to read the last several books in this series out a sense of obligation. I have invested so many hours on the previous nine and I usually don't give up easily. Crossroads did the trick, however, with countless long passages of little or no action whatsoever. I want to scream when I'm reading those endless chapters of Aes Sedai characters gossiping with one another! The central character in the drama, Rand, did not even appear until page 540! I blame Robert Jordan for abandoning the fans of an amazing series (up to Book 6 at least) and the editors and publishers for not caring about what kind of pulp they put out on the shelves. Please stop the comparisons to Tolkien as Jordan missed that boat about 2000 turgid pages ago.
