[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 643376, member: 8704"] You know I think I could of even forgiven this book if it had another 100 or so pages in it that dealt with Rand, I have been waiting for several books for Logain to show up........well lets skim over that very important meeting and get back to Perrin Brooding. Even a little bit of talk of what went on in the last book would of helped, Rand did nothing and said nothing, heck he barely appeared, there were some major things that happened in this book, but they happened "off screen" while we got to learn how to hand wash silk and how Elayne likes her tea. The influence of the dark one is spreading, and how do we know this.... weevels in the grain. Give me a break, this was so obviously a rush job thrown out to cover a deadline (a deadline they missed the first time around) that it is just crazy. The description on the book cover is just a lie nothing it says that happens does, Matt isn't being persued by anyone, he never has to decide if it is too dangerous to Tuon if he lets her go. Perrin never makes any decision about selling his soul or staying true to Rand, heck all he decides to do is meet some people, and I still don't understand if he is so depirate to free his wife why doesn't he just go get some help, he has people with him who can travel, he can go anywhere in the world to get anything he needs, why is he going to a local town to get supplies, he could go anywhere just as easily, why is he looking for help from the enemy when he can get all the help he would ever need from his friend. Egwene sets on her butt for all of her part but the last two pages where she decides to do something stupid, it has very little to do with what is written in the liner notes. Elayne does nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, for 5 chapters she does nothing at all, no plot advancement, no character advancement, nothing just her talking to people about the same things she talked about in the last book, and Rand, well more is written in the liner notes about Rand than is actually written in the book. Well that's rant number two, I wish I had went with the flow and bashed the last couple of books instead of defending them, I would feel much better about how I was taken in by book 10 now. It should of been called "Wheel of Time 10 Attack of the Weevels". Or maybe Ghostbusters 3. [/QUOTE]
