Negative Positive
Title: SLOW!!!
Review: The problem as we see in the tenth book of this series, is that it is in the 10th book. The series was only supposed to last 7 or 8, but like a literary sellout, Jordan takes a 5 million dollar advance to extend the series to 12. I don't know about you, but if I had a series outline that was 7 to 8, and I had to squeak 4 more books out, my series would have devolved into the utter meaningless, meandering drivel it has become too. The female characters have all the warmth of a snow pea, and grate like a rusty file, and the male characters wouldn't know how to handle these unrealistic women if their lives depended on it. I give up. With any luck, so will Jordan. Book 11 will be another garbage fest, with the "payoff" in book 12 bound to be a complete letdown. If you want to read a good long series, I recommend Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles.
