Average Rating: Rating: - More setup for what is sure to be an excellent conclusion Much like the previous two books in the series Crossroads of Twilight is mostly a set up for things to come. As I've read the reviews by other posters it seems that there's one common thread, people are sick of the set up with this series and ready for things to happen. I went into COT sharing that sentiment and fearing that I'd just spent two years waiting for another set up novel. Well my fears proved true. Nothing much happens to advance the plot, most of the story revolves around reaction to what happened at the end of Winter's Heart, things continue to build, and I absolutly loved the book. Now don't get me wrong, I'm just as ready as everyone else for something to happen but I think a clever reader can read between the lines on this one and see that things will start happening very very soon. There's so much getting ready to happen for the climax of the series. Things are beginning to be brought back together and I believe we're finally seeing the beginning of the end of WOT, something that's bittersweet to me. COT doesn't have the quick pace of the early novels, the suprising plot twists of the middle novels, or the grand developments that happened in WH. But what it does have is incredible potential for book 11. Even if book 11 turns out to be yet more set up I believe that by book 12 things will for sure be happening and I'd say this series has no more then 3 or 4 more books (Jordan's said he thinks only 2 more but quite frankly I'm not sure anyone believes that:) My reccomendaiton to those who don't think they can stomach another set up novel is to stick with it and realize they are in the hands of a master story writer who is going to give us a magnificent conclusion in just a few books. Have patientce and you'll be glad you did. Rating: - Take your frustration out on Tor Books This is the worst book of the series by far. Hands down & without exception. Jordan should be embarassed to have his name associated with it. If you are reading this, do everyone a favor & send a letter to the publisher. Maybe if they get enough negative feedback they will stop wasting our time with sensle dribble like Crossroads of Twilight...Or as I like to call it Crossing into Boredom. Address it to the writer c/o Tor Books, 175 Fifth Avenue, New York NY 10010 Rating: - Someone stop him, please!!!! Anyone want to buy my copy of this book? Seriously. The book is like 650 pages long and I don't really know that anything at all happens. The first 300 pages just update you on what everyone else was doing while Rand was cleansing Saidan in Winter's Heart. Hey great, I was wondering what Mat was thinking as that was happening. . Nothing at all is resolved in this book. Maybe nothing will ever be resolved. Essentially the series is now taking place in real time like an episode of 24. The early books covered several weeks or months. A character would leave say Camelyn on his/her way to Ebou Dar at the end of a chapter. At the beginning of the next chapter said character would arrive in Ebou Dar and the plot would take off again. Now the character departs Camelyn and we're treated to a minute by minute depiction of the journey. How the scenery looks, what sort of food is being eaten, is the food greasy, how's the weather? It's mind boggling. And what's up with the characters, especially the Aes Sedai? There have to be dozens of them by now. I have no idea who any of them are. Apparently we're supposed to remember that some were identified as being bad in previous books. Okay, let's think about this. This is book ten which means there are probably a minimum of 6,000 pages of text written in the series thus far. Some of these minor characters pop up for a chapter three books ago and then resurface now and we're supposed to remember them? As if. I even lose track of the Big Three sometimes, especially when they now seem to go whole books without appearing. And there's not an original thought. Perrin is only capable of thinking 'Faile Faile, without Faile I'm nothing.' Mat can't believe he's going to marry the Daughter of the Nine Moons and Rand, well wait Rand doesn't even really make an appearance. WHAT? Jordan is a genius however. He wrote 4 or 5 good books and hooked people in. Now we have to buy these damn things as soon as they come out just to see what's happening. I started reading years ago when I was in high school. I had to wait until I could check the book out from the library or the soft cover came out. Now I'm through grad school and gainfully employed and thus can afford to buy the hardcover the day it's released. More money for Mr. Jordan. Genius. I guess the real complaint is that I just need to get a life. This story is never going to end and I should stop worrying about it. Even the Neverending Story, (you know the movie) must have ended at some point because I'm pretty sure that had a sequel. Well enough of my rant. If you've read the other books you'll buy and read this one just because that's what you do. If you've never read one of these books wait another 15-20 years when we're up to book 17 (tentative title Tuesday, 8:00am - 9:00am) and some things might have been resolved. In the meantime I'll content myself with waiting for book 11 when important issues such as Mat choosing a cloak to wear when the carnival finally packs up and gets moving or Rand selects a new breakfast cereal are resolved. Sheesh.
