Title: A step down from its predecessors
Review: I begin to get the sensations that many other reviewers have outlined from my reading of book 5. The pace seems to be slowing down, apart from the obligatory speed-up in the last 100 pages, there seems little in the way of action in this book. My interest level is ebbing, and book 12 looks a long way away from here. I start wondering if its time to quit, while Im ahead, so to speak.I believe around 500 pages could be cut from this volume.100 pages cut from Nynaeve's introspection / anger50 pages cut from Aes Sedai gossiping70 pages - the entire "circus" episode cut50 pages from Rand's repetitive thought processes50 pages from Elayne50 pages from EgweneThe remaining 130 pages could be cut from random clothing descriptions / minor characters who serve no plot purpose.This is not a good book. There, I've said it. Books 1-4 were good, but this is the first truly bad one. I will read book 6... but the jury is out.
Is the review positive or negative?
