Summary: More setup for what is sure to be an excellent conclusion
Comment: 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.

Summary: Despair is an Author with Nothing Left to Say
Comment: I noticed today that I've been reading the Wheel of Time for something like ten years.
And that's roughly how long this book seemed to take to read: a frozen ten years, in which precisely nothing happened. Everyone who's been reading Jordan for any length of time can tell you that he's been on a steady decline after such a stellar beginning.
Somewhere around book four or five he realized that he was a one-trick pony and decided to drag it out. Hell, maybe he got used to the royalties and was too afraid of butchering the cash cow. The recently released and entirely unnecessary prologue 'New Spring'(a planned TRILOGY of prologues, no less) is more than enough evidence of this.
I won't be spending any more of my money on the literary equivalent of watching paint dry. I no longer care what happens. Die, Rand, die.
Way to lose the touch, Jordan. Just take a peek at the couple thousand other reviews of this heap of trash if you don't believe what I'm saying. Hint: alienating your audience is not a smooth move.

Summary: Stop buying them and he'll wrap it up!
Comment: For all frustrated readers of this mega-multi-manipulation of readers' money, here's my suggestion: if you just HAVE to read each one as it comes to press, check it out from the library. DON'T BUY IT! When the next book comes out and it doesn't sell, perhaps then Jordan will take his readers' pleas to heart, realize that he isn't going to make any more money on these perpetual sequels and END the thing!
