Title: A betrayal of our hopes
Review: A shocking disappointment. While Winter's Heart seemed to get the series back on track, this volume moves the plot barely at all. While Glimmers, the prologue available this summer, seemed to presage the lack of any plot development; I hoped it was not to be. However, some 400 pages in to CROSSROADS, when a chapter was spent introducing us to some minor and hitherto unknown Andorian nobles, I realized that my hopes were in vain. Nothing happens, and we learn new or interesting about anyone. The harshest indictment I can make of Crossroads of twilight is that there is no reason to read it. Mr. Jordan said he wanted people to finish his series and say "boy that was fun." I wish someone would tell him that at the amusement park, people go to enjoy the rides, not waiting in line for the rides to begin. This book is like waiting in those lines.
