I know I feel betrayed. The first 5 or 6 books were fantastic, an original world, interesting magic system, a great sprawling epic.Then things gradually stopped happening in the novels. I forget the title, but there was only one event of significance (Rand purifiying Sadin) in the second most recently published book and two less significant events (Rand's Menage-a-trois and Mat figuring out that what's her name was the daughter of the moon he was destined to marry. Both of those events had been well forshadowed and fell into the category of "Oh, so that's finally happened."The last novel had absolutely nothing happen in it at all, except that you got everyone's reactions to the events of the previous book for the characters who weren't involved in those events. No plot threads were resolved, nothing much was even forshadowed, nothing happened. I can forgive a bad or slow book in a series, but the last 4-5 books have just been getting worse and worse to the point where almost litereally nothing happens in a 600+ page book. The fact that the quality has fallen so much doesn't leave much hope for things getting resolved in an interesting manner. Perhaps it's time for the fans to take the series away from the author, much like they need to get StarTrek out of the hands of Paramount/Berman</blockquote>
