Title: Oh dear
Review: Oh, how the mighty have fallen!The first 4 or 5 books in this series were excellent, but since then each book has been worse than the last. Unfortunetly, this book tops them all. I have never encountered a book that took so long to say next to nothing. I would say that 80% of the text is description and 20% is plot-advancing dialogue. It takes Jordan, on average, an entire page to go from "Hello" to "How do you do?" Filler, anyone? Not to mention the myriad of characters who all blend together because none of them are particularly memorable. Apparently, all Aes Sedai have some sort of hive-mind that gives them all the same personality, but different motivations.I could rant on and on about Jordan's obsession with every character's clothing or the inner digressions each character has after every line of dialogue. But I won't. If you're like me, and you must learn the fate of Randland, then read this book and get it over with. Hopefully, book 11 will have a plot.
