Title: Plot? We don't need no stinkin' plot!
Review: Reading "A Crown of Swords" has convinced me to give up on "The Wheel of Time" series. Indeed, I feel like a fool for sticking with it this long. I had hoped that Jordan would finally start moving on the underlying story line of this series -- namely, the final confrontation between Rand and the forces of darkness. However, it looks like this isn't going to happen any time soon. Character and plot development (or even subplot development!) are negligible. Instead, "ACOS" contains a great deal of irrelevant description that does not advance the story. By the time the final climactic battle occurs (in book 35 at the current pace), who will care? More to the point, how could it possibly live up to this kind of buildup?Maybe I should stick to short novels like "War and Peace" from now on
