Negative Positive
Title: Worth Skimming Only
Review: I join those who have been extremely disappointed by this book. It is another long set-up with not much happening. I give it more than one star mainly because of the scenes with Mat and Tuon, which remind you of the good parts of this over-extended series. The author clearly is not going to listen to those asking for some common sense editing and tightening. Of course, he can do whatever he wants and he's making a bundle of money. But it's frustrating. My suggestion is to wait for the paperback or borrow the hardcover, and then skim it for the scenes involving Mat,Tuon, Rand and Elayne. There is a lot in the book about Egwene, but it doesn't go anywhere and is not interesting. Nynaeve is hardly mentioned, and nothing significant happens with Perrin either. Too bad.
Is the review positive or negative?
