I skipped the previous book after reading so many bad reviews, and had seen a few reviews on KOD so I decided to buy the paperback. The first 50 pages were tough to get thru; the next 100 were ok, but then it was the same old crap - how many times do we have to read about someone smoothing their skirts or a warder touching his sword hilt! Do I really need to read about how a character feels or how they're dressed every time their name is mentioned!! The entire storyline with Elayne was painful - it could have been told in 20 pages instead of 200. By the end of the book I would skim over any large paragraph that started with a description (she was dressed in Green silk, Elayne felt tense, the bug like helmet...). The only part of the book worth reading was Mat's storyline. Is there a book category award for 'Worst Set of Novels on the New York Times Best Seller List', because the last 4 or 5 of 'The Never Ending Wheel of Time' series should win it hands down! 626461@blogcritics.org Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:13:42 EDT
