I like the series but Jordan REALLY needs to edit himself more. I found myself speedreading entire chapters because little happens. Sakes alive I do not need intricate details of every characters clothes. At this point I have read a ton about them already and can imagine what Rand and company look like or think in general. If it doesnt advance the plot or enrich the reading experience cut it. I've heard 11 is better. I really look forward to the conclusion of all this. Can he wrap it up though in less than 1000 pages?
If you're addicted, as I am, to the Wheel of Time series, then it's a must read; but the wheel is grinding to a halt in this latest issue, with little plot advancement and no resolution to unfinished elements from previous novels in the series.

The entire series is great. If you pulled through the rest of the books, you will not be disappointed with this one; it is one of my favorites. It brings back all the greatness that may have faltered in the previous books
