Title: Skip the first 900 pages
Review: The book has a good prologue, and the last 100 pages have a reasonable amount of action. The intervening 900 pages unfortunately are incredibly drawn out and boring.What makes it boring? Mostly endless posturing, maneuvering, and intrigue on the part of the characters, epitomized by the Aes Sedai "sniff" (every other page an Aes Sedai is sniffing--it gets old after a while). The intrigue is supposed to be complex, but the characters come across as sophisticated as a bunch of third-graders: petulant and whiny.I think that Robert Jordan has run out of steam and is simply milking the series for all the money that he can wring out of it.
