Tonic - I'm not sure I want to continue reading the series.
The last few have been such a letdown

Re: Knife of Dreams FINISHED!

I starting to wonder if I'll get to see the ending of the series before I die. What a let down that would be, to pass away right before Tarmon Gaidon. Not that I plan on dieing anytime soon, but accidents happen. The last book CoT was the only one I had to trudge through but I believe we are going to start to tie up loose ends. I am really looking forword to next month, and November too when when the next ASoIaF book comes out.

I can't say I'm very excited. I devoured the series at first, but once it became a slow-moving, crawling, uncontained beast, I lost all interest. If Robert Jordan cannot stay focused on his own story, why should I?

Only thoughts/observations I have on it is that its narrative supposedly returns to the faster paced earlier books and that a number of loose ends are tied up from all reports as Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle nears it climax.

On the other hand, some reviewers are saying it doesn't progress as much as was hoped or expected and that Rand apparently makes only a brief appearance in this book...

Like all good things the proof will be in the pudding...

How can that be? Isn't this supposed to be the big buildup before the climactic finish? If that is so - and certainly the early hype is claiming as much - one would think the main character around which the whole Wheel of Time series revolves would come into play for said buildup.

I look forward to seeing what people say after actually reading the book, because while I cannot muster the will to finish the series, I am interested in the ongoing soap opera of reaction to each new book.
