Needlessly long. Almost nothing happens. There are writers who can make five pages of picking out dresses interesting. Robert Jordan, it seems, was not one of them.
The final book of the unnecessary books. There are probably 6-7 chapters in this whole book that are worth reading. Definitely the weakest book in the series by far. Can not wait to jump into Book 11 where it ramps up to being great again.
This book was disappointing after that long wait from book 9. While I really appreciate the fact that the late Robert Jordan managed to write such an epic story spanning over 10 books, and that I love all the long descriptions of it, this book was still a letdown. The story really did not progress much at all. It was as if the author himself needed a recap, so a huge part of this book was spent consolidating what happened in the previous two books. Only a few chapters worth of material are really moving the story along. I hope the next author would help speed things along (despite the fact that there's gonna be 3 more books...).
Up till now I enjoyed the slow pacing and the characters. But this book is the worst of all. Literally nothing noteworthy happened that could not have happened in 3 chapters. It is silly slow and possibly not even necessary to read for the rest of the series.
Around the 700 mark I was getting the feeling that nothing more was going to happen. And nothing did. I'm taking a break for a while from this series. See if I can muster up the courage. Everybody has been telling me the last 3 books are so worth the trouble.
