Title: So boring...
Review: Book 10 can be summed up thusly: it recaps everything that occured in book 9, itself a stuttering bore until the final pages. This is the book where everyone stops and chats about things, what happened before, what they might like to do in the future. And, of course, endlessly complaining about things that they don't understand. Mat Cauthon, generally regarded as the next most exciting character, next to Rand, spends three chapters deciding to... pick up stakes and move a circus. Perrin spends over a hundred pages ... doing what he did in the last book, exactly nothing worth reading. Elayne spends several chapters discussing how she might consolidate power in Caemlyn. Egwene spends endless time discussing how she might overtake Tar Valon. If you've read the dust jacket you already knew all this! Reading this book is similar to having a friend tell you about a great movie, rather than seeing it yourself. Get to the action, man! Argh!
