Negative Positive
Title: One step forward, fifteen steps sideways
Review: I have been an avid reader of this series for many years now, but I must say that this was a big letdown from the previous novel. Sometime around book number 6 or so, Jordan seems to have become mired in a rut where one book advances the plot and then 2 years later another book is issued descibing all the semi-interesting things that were happenning around the same time in other parts of the globe. I understand that there are only so many Forsaken that can be killed off before the series gets dull. However, given the delay in between novels I cannot think of a good reason why every book should not advance the plot. This book was one huge setup for events down the road, and there was simply no payoff. I would reccommend treating Jordan the same way that Star Trek movies are perceived; skip every other one so that you are not frustrated!
