Title: Weakest in the series
Review: It's hard to give a 2/5 to a book in a series I'm very fond off, yet it's hard to find any redeeming points for Crossroads. The story stops. It literally grinds to an almost full stop. Devoting a part of the book to going over the effects of Rand's actions at the end of the previous books could have been agreeable. We after all all remember where we were 9/11 or whatever. Thus, a couple of hundred pages devoted to portraying how Rand's actions reflect on other characters and what they were doing at the time sounds like a good idea.It doesn't work, however, when you devote 800 pages and nothing, nothing at all, happens.Why the 2/5 then? Well, the writing style is the same as all previous books and chances are if you liked those, you'll at least find some redeeming points.Reading this book, I had the continuous feeling that had Mr Jordan not passed away, the series would never in a million years have concluded with book 14, the pacing was simply not there.
