Negative Positive
Title: How repetitive
Review: This book is true to Robert Jordan's form- slow, plodding and overly detailed. He spends pages describing dresses, of all things! Not a single clothing change goes unnoticed, as each dress, no matter how transitory, gets its embroidery, material, color, feel, protection from the elements, and cleavage showing described.He also fails to move the plot along strictly because of the sheer weight of the 15 or so subplots that don't need a chapter to review. The book lacks focus, and it shows.It wasn't always like this. Jordan's first five books in the series manage to include enough detail to completely flesh out the world without weighing down the action. The previous books had a minimum amount of downtime, but now he writes entire books of downtime.I don't know; I'll give the series one more pass. If Jordan drops the ball again, that's the last straw.
