Title: Hey, my Wheel of Time stopped. Somebody wind it!!
Review: Too many characters, glacial action.Here is a summary of all the action in this book. Perrin chops the hand off of a captured prisoner to get information on his kidnapped wife, Faile. A minor character is stabbed (but healed), and the perpetrator is shot in the back with a crossbow.That's it. All of the action in the entire book, summarized in two long sentences. To be sure, there is plenty of tea drinking and hand wringing and various groups of women talking to each other.I suppose that the series is making progress, as we have moved from reading about how much lace they wear in Ebou Dar to how much embroidery they wear in Jurador.Clearly, Robert Jordan would rather write about hemlines and necklines than sword fights and magic duels.I want a refund on the last five books (books 6 through 10).
