Book #3: Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan
This one was OK but at this point, I'm just reading the series as quickly as I can because I want to find out what happens. I'm not enjoying it so much any more. There was an awful lot of torture and almost-rape in this one, unlike earlier books. I don't see the point of that. I HATE it when an author takes a character that I like and puts her in a horrible situation because a male character needs to rescue her for the sake of the plot. And the bit where Perrin cut of the prisoner's hand: was that really necessary? Who's writing this, Mel Gibson?
There's also the dragging pace that a lot of fans have complained about and I agree with them. I just want to round up all the principal characters and say "Halima is Aran'Gar! Taim is a Darkfriend! Nynaeve has the last seal! Mat, Perrin and Rand, you can see each other in your minds! Rand needs to stop repressing his emotions!" and then I'd just slap around them for a while.
I give it a C.
