Negative Positive
Title: A book with a loss of purpose.
Review: I read the book when it first came out, even though I agree that the first few books were excellent and the latest have just been average.This one was terrible. The book starts developing an interesting sub-plot with Perrin chasing after an abducted Faile, and just when it gets suspensful and interesting we switch to another more confusing and less intriguing sub-plot.Never fear, right? We'll sooner or (much) later get back to the Perrin/Faile crisis, wouldn't you think? WRONG!!!! The book finishes the second and third sub-plot and forgets it even started the first one!Maybe this is no reflection on Jordan's writing abilities. Maybe the publishers insisted on deadlines or something and that this was a team effort in the making. We can only hope.I'd like to see Jordan return to form and head towards a conclusion. He could probably get it done in two books or less as long as he decides to do it.Until then, I'll stick with Terry Goodkind's novels . . .
Is the review positive or negative?
