The Wheel of Time (Book 10) "Crossroads of Twilight"
The story just pulls you in and holds you until the very end.
Like the other books in this series, I look forward to the next book in the series.
Footnote
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a book from a popular series rated 1.5 stars, and am not sure why it is rated so low. But then, I have the pleasure of being able to read the Wheel of Time books back-to-back. I can imagine for those that waited a year (or however long it was since book 9), how this was a major disappointment. For me...and probably for you, that blight is inconsequential. As such, the book was good. At this point, we all known Mr. Jordan's scope and detail for this universe he has created. To that end, this book felt like it was one long footnote. And I don't mean that in a bad way, necessarily. But seriously, it is as if Mr. Jordan typed in an asterisk in "Winter's Heart" that leads the reader to a footnote to fill in some information that wouldn't do to be in the main body of text. And that's the plot of this book...filling in the gaps of what everyone else was doing while Rand did his thing (which is what I'll say instead of writing a spoiler) in WH. This is a big, complex world, and in a weird way, stopping to fill us in on where everyone is at and it not necessarily be huge battles or full of action, makes it a bit more realistic. Life has its calms and its battles.
So take the 1.5 average rating with a grain of salt, realizing it is from dedicated readers who had to wait a long time for seemingly nothing to happen. But for those who are reading straight-through, it should be an entertaining journey.
Wheel of Time
While the series is long and some middle books are not as good as earlier ones, overall a very good series.
