What really gets me was why was this book delayed from last years release date? Did he really need a couple of extra months to work on that, maybe he felt there wasn't enough scenes where people sat around talking. Why was the main character only in the book for a dozen or so pages? Why was nothing really settled or even really advanced that much? Nobody's story really went anywhere, Elayne's story involved her walking around, taking a bath and talking to people in different rooms. Couldn't he of wrapped that all up into one chapter and moved on with other stuff? She took up 5 chapters. I actually liked the chapters about the lesser characters better, at least something happened in them, the main characters sat around and made pleasant chit chat for chapter after chapter. Why doesn't Perren just send one of the Asha'man off with a wise one to bring back a army of Aiel, they have been looking all over for the Shaido and he has found them, there are huge armies just sitting around all over the place, if he was that desperate to save his wife wouldn't he just go find his good friend the most powerful man alive and borrow a army for a day or so? Why on earth would Aviendha not tell Egwene the truth? Why didn't anything happen in this book, it was just a big book of people talking about the stuff that happened in the last book. Am I really supposed to wait another two years for more of this? I really don't think the man actually cares anymore, I get the feeling that he doesn't know where to go with all of this either, I am not mad because there are too many books, I don't care if he just keeps writing them, but I would like them to be good books, this book was so dull I had to make myself keep reading it, nobody did anything, nobody got anywhere and all the stuff that was written about what would happen in this book never happened, nothing happened. Perrin made camp, Elayne took a bath, Mat flirted with a girl, Egwene went to bed after a long day at work and Rand made a guest appearance in the book that is supposed to be about him. They all made it to the Crossroads of Twilight sat down and discussed what happened in the last book and what they had planed for the next, nobody actually did anything. I hope the idiot ass actually listens to what is being said about his book, I have not read anything positive about it yet. If the next book is as boring as this one then I'm burning the whole lot of them and assuming the Dark One won. Of course since he won't have another one out till 2005 the way he's been going I might as well say to hell with it now.</p></blockquote><p></p>
