[QUOTE="Starman, post: 1897750, member: 7663"] I agree somewhat. [I]Lord of Chaos [/I] definitely drags in places, but the stellar finale went a long way to making up for it, IMHO. I agree that [I]A Crown of Swords [/I] often gets unfairly ragged on. It has a lot of great scenes and developments (the gholam, Nynaeve's block, Tylin & Mat, Rand and the rebels in Murkwood). [I]The Path of Daggers [/I] is definitely one of the weakest in the series, but it also had some stuff I liked (Rand going crazy with Callandor, "A Cup of Sleep", the ambush at the end). I've heard complaints from some that the prequel novel was an unneccessary expansion of the story in [I]Legends[/I]. I disagree. I thought it was tightly written and did a good job of fleshing out some things in the world. I think those people critical of it are those who are upset he wrote it before the series is finished.
