Title: What happened?
Review: I've been patient. At the end of WH, I thought that my patience was finally going to be rewarded. It ended with something that *should* have been a major turning point. I mean, the Taint is clensed from the male half of the One Power. That's a Big Deal (tm), right? When I read that, I was certain that the next book was going to explode.It fizzled. A bunch of people see Rand's Big Project from a distance and, effectively, go "huh?". Meanwhile, everyone is still bogged down in the same plot-lines that they were last time -- and I do mean the *same* ones, and not a single one so much as inches towards resolution.After such an enormously portentious ending in WH, it's simply incomprehensible to me that Jordan would have chosen to spend yet more time twiddling with all the pieces he has on the board.What happened? A big, fat nothing.
