Title: Abominable
Review: Even given the ever slowing pace of the Wheel of Time books, I was staggered at the tempo to which Robert Jordan has managed to slow in this latest installment. If it wasn't for some of his stylistic hallmarks (or should I say mannerisms) I would even doubt that the first book and the tenth were written by the same man. And if the ending of book nine gave promise that the effort needed to persevere with the previous three or four books might actually be rewarded, as I progressed with book ten those hopes were quickly drowned in tears of boredom. Eventually I had to adopt a special reading style, which was more akin to scanning, in order to spare my mental faculties, but to be honest I think one could read this book upside down without missing anything of importance.It is a great shame that a story which started off so well should have come to this and I'm sorry to say that Mr Jordan has thoroughly lost the plot.
Is the review positive or negative?
