I've owned book 10 since it came out, but haven't been able to bring myself to read it, after book 9, and the power boost Rand got he could take out Shaitan himself with little to no difficulty. One of my friends who was a fanatic (he actually got me into reading them) about WoT felt almost identical, when we talked I was surprised that he hadn't devoured book 10, but he was leary of starting something after what happened in the last book.

as far as characters go you need index cards to keep them straight, and with the number of sideline characters getting all the action I need index cards to keep up with them, and will probably have to reread the whole thing before I can attempt to start book 10, let alone 11 or 12. They're great reads, but when a MAIN character is completely absent for two or more books, and no one notices because of all the concentration on tertiary characters, there's a problem, I was pissed to see Perrin gone from book 5, Matt from book 8, and Rand only having a few appearances in most of the last 3 I read that I'm still trying to decide if I still care enough to try book 10.
