Summary: I quit
Comment: The story is entertaining and most the characters (all male) are realistic and enjoyable but the women are just too annoying. I've never read a book with so many occurences of people glaring at one another. Robert Jordan needs to cut most of the bickering between characters and move this story along. The reviews for these books only go downhill from here so I'm doing what Matt should have done; left the women behind. Shame on Jordan's editor too. It's their job to cut out the crap and this book is gold buried in a huge pile of crap.
Rating: 2
Summary: STOP NOW!
Comment: The usual cast of interesting characters and a (relatively) fast moving plot generate enough action to maintain the reader's interest. The tale of the seige of Two Rivers with the intertwined love story of Perrin and Faile is very well done. There is even progress in some of the other threads in this bloated epic.
Unfortunately, this is the last book in the series worth the time or money. Someone desperately needs to remind Mr. Jordan that he's not getting paid by the word. Of course, if he is it would explain a lot about the agonizingly slow and plodding nature of the rest of the series.
Rating: 5
Summary: Really Good!
Comment: I don't know what some of the other reviewers are talking about. I thought it was just as good as all the ones before it - namely - VERY VERY VERY GOOD. there are a lot of plots going on at once but i think that makes it even more interesting. nynaeve can be grumpy but i dont think she's annoying.
I do agree tho with the person who said that it is like the Dune series by Frank Herbert. I noticed the Aiel/fremen, bene gesserit/aes sedai parallels as well.
