Ok so I love this series to death, but this book was pretty boring. What happened?
Eh...Elayne and Nynaeve moved reallllly slowly and suddenly something big happened and I was all excuse me? That's a theme, everything moves slowly but the big things are over in a blink of an eye. I do not like Elayne by the way.
Perrin was in the woods...
Logain showed up again.
A few people gathered in the beginning and then was never seen again..what?
Rand was going crazy and hunting Seanchan and I hate those f*ckers.
I yawned here and there. Egwene was doing something boring as usual.
Hehehe, yeah I know, anyone reading this review would not want to read this book. It's just that it was 700 pages and nothing at all happened.

I do love thee awesome series but what on earth do >I have left to say? these middle books are just fillers.
Elayne is Queen and doing stuff there.
We meet the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Never did like that brat and I can't say I want Mat to marry her. Mat who is a queen's pet in this book. Silly really.
Rand is out doing stuff and hunting rogues.
Perris looses Faile, who by the way should deal with her jealousy issues.
I came to think of the perfect guy for Tenobia, yup, he is so gonna marry her if they meet.
What else, well people ran around in castles, woods and talked. Pretty much it.
On another note! A month left until the LAST BOOK!
Book 8 sounds like not all that much happened and one would think that in 700 pages a few events would take place and move the action forward:) Glad you only have a month left until the final book though!
ReplyDeleteThey are bricks and yes nothing happens. That is sure the thing almost everyone complain about
DeleteLOL. I don't think I could make it through 700 pages of nothing happening, but you wouldn't want to skip a book in the series.
ReplyDeleteNah, it's good. Cos there was something in there that >I had forgotten and that is why I am re-reading
DeleteI am so darn impressed! As someone who stopped on book 4 or 5--I know that sometimes these can be very intense reads!
ReplyDeleteI did love them all..the first time around, the 2nd, eh not so much
DeleteROFL! Love your reviews. I don't mind fillers when I love a series. I can't believe I haven't read these yet. They have been recommended to me so many times...
ReplyDeleteI do love it, but so much better the first time around ;D
Delete700 pages of nothing?!?! Ack.
ReplyDeleteha, oh yes
DeleteThey can't all be good, I'm still in awe at how much you read and re-read too. Good for you. I like these vintagecovers.
ReplyDeleteOh I hate the covers, they are all bleh, some are better though, like these
Deleteyour reviews kill me..LOL
ReplyDeleteHow can you re-read books, my tbr pile is so big I cannot even read them all once..hehehe
I force myself ;) I want to re-read them all before the last as else I would not remember much
DeleteI loved this and even though some were hit/miss I really need to start re-reading this series again. I started way back in 1995!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I started in like...96, 97, 98
DeleteI've heard some of the middle books weren't as good as others in the series. :) And still, a series I need to get to. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe problem is this I feel like that the first time around? I can't remember
DeleteYeah, a 700-page books about nothing really...the ultimate reading challenge.
ReplyDeleteHe sure was an expert at writing those
DeleteI don't know why but I'm really not attracted by these books... I haven't read a book by this author but I think I should try one day!
ReplyDeleteRead book 1 and be happy,I love book 1...cos else you got 13 more chunksters to read
DeleteI never liked Daughter of the Nine Moons and I think Mat being the Queen's pet was just stupid.
ReplyDeleteI know! Like he had no choice. Just silly and Tuon is a little bitch
DeleteLol, the book I dislike the most is 10, nothing happens in that one at all. Still, one of my favourite fantasy series, and it will be reread again and again.
ReplyDeleteThe review for 10 should be up...well one day, together with 11. Now 11 was better, there it finally picked up speed
DeleteThey're on my TBR mountain but I just don't know whether I can handle chunksters that are mainly filler lol
ReplyDeleteThe middle books are tough, but, this is a re-read, and they are double boring then. The first time you need to know
DeleteLOL Those reviews were hilarious but very accurate, nothing happened in those books!
ReplyDeleteNothing at all, fillers, nothing more than that
Deletehe has written so many books!
ReplyDeleteHe sure did
DeleteI actually tend to like the filler books in this series, but it's been so long since I've read them. I still haven't wrote reviews for the first three I reread this year, I need to get on it.
ReplyDeleteSome have to enjoy them :D
DeleteFor the next one I am reading I do already have a review from before so that will be fun to compare
