Title: Actions would speak louder than all these words....
Review: This volume is where I gave up on the "Wheel of Time" series. The scenes became too repetitious, all the characters started sounding alike, and the overall story had long since lost its direction. Strange, but I recall being impatient during the first 100 pages of volume I, "Eye of the World." That was just a hint of the frustration to come. Jordan created what could have been a fascinating world with a well-imagined matriarchal society, and hinted at many intriguing things about its past... then drifted off into endless scenes with the female characters b***hing about the men. If the series ever ends, the publisher should hire somebody to boil the whole thing down to 1,500 pages or so.
Is the review positive or negative?
