Crossroads of Twilight (The Wheel of Time, Book 10) 2417 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy, 2003

3.5 stars. The events in the beginning of this book, told from Mat, Perrin, and Elayne's perspective, occur simultaneously with the ending scene of the previous book, Winter's Heart. The last several books, beginning with A Crown of Swords, have slowed down time-wise considerably with events ...

A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7) 660 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Books, 1996
Still strong, but Jordan begins to milk it
+ A decent addition to the series, but the cracks are starting to widen
While I rate this book highly, this is the first book in the series where I really began to feel that the story was being stretched out deliberately to yield more books in the future. Many of the subplots advance slowly and more subplots are introduced, leaving more loose ends to tie up later. ...
