With another drawn out book on my list of frustrations with this series which I once adored, I feel like a cow who is simply being milked for as much money as possible. I thought one of the most important aspects of the art of novel writing was to be good at telling a story from beginning to end, assuming there is one here. I am not convinced this is occurring with this long series. And since I doubt The Wheel of Time would end with eleven books, I suspect I will have to wade through two more books to find out how it all comes to a grand finale. How disappointing. I guess I can sum up my review in just one word: MOO.
