Title: Overly long with some bright spots.
Review: On a recent vacation I wanted a hefty fantasy novel along for those long poolside evenings. I picked this book up, having resisted the series for years...... and I wasn't enchanted. The characters in this v-e-r-y long, endless, weighty, unbending doorstop of a book are very hard to like. The boys are nitwits and I resent being stuck in the heads of rather thick people who do very stupid things over-and-over. The female characters come off somewhat better--Jordan goes out of his way to show them as strong and smart, but I think he overdoes it. It would be far better to see equally interesting and "strong" (strong doesn't have to mean "perfect", you know) characters. Instead... ::sigh::I was pining for Earthsea, or Zelazny's Amber series, or, for heaven's sake, a couple of Moorcock's Elric books long before I turned the last pages of this monster. The other reviews here do not inspire confidence that this series is worth it. Go read something else (IMHO)
