Title: Struggle to finish...
Review: I have jammed through all the previous books pretty quickly... always finding some free time to read, not wanting to put them down. Boy was this book different. It took a great deal of effort to read this one. The story has been slowing for a few books, and in this one the story seems to have totally stalled out. The plot hasn't really moved forward at all. Reading about Mat was still enjoyable, but even that bit lacked any real excitement. <yawn> The author is obviously writing for himself. Was there an editor at all on this book? I seriously think this book could be distilled down into a 50-100 page intro for the next book and little would be lost. This book has pretty much killed what interest I had left in the series. I'll probably check back in 10 years and see if it's done yet.
Is the review positive or negative?
