Anyone else disappointed by this book? I started reading it and 800 pages later, nothing happened. Most of the plot is still at the point it was at the end of book nine! Does it seem like they're trying to milk the story just a bit, or is it just me? It takes them two frickin' years to get a new book in the series and it winds up being a disappointment like this!

I liked the book, the only thing I hated was the ending... [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]
In my opinion, Jordan plan to take every storylines and get them just before the climax, and then have an absolute ending book, with everything coming to an end together. </font>[/QUOTE]No Luvian, he's stalling! With small talk and background politics that the reader doesn't necessarily need(or want) to know. He's also going into painfully intricate visual detail and branching into long boring character thought sequences to stretch out scenes. I'm disappointed as he seemed to lump a lot of it into this particular book. The plot simply didn't budge an inch in my opinion. Any more drivel like this and I'll be reading something else and waiting for the WOT books to come out in paperback. All I know is I'm not spending thirty bucks on something like this again.

He has such a huge world and timeframe to work with that I don't see why he has to stretch out this particular series. He can be writing books about this world for a long time.
