Crossroads of Twilight

Ugh! I love this overall series but from about book 7 through this one the story is slow, at least till about the last 50-100 pages or so. I have it on good authority though that book 11 steps up and the story really reaches that conclusion level starting at 11-12 and moving forward to finally book 14. Otherwise, Crossroads of Twilight was just too slow and full of a crap ton of details or specifics or filler stories that have nothing to do with the main story, nothing.
