Average Rating: 
Rating: - More setup for what is sure to be an excellent conclusion
Much like the previous two books in the series Crossroads of Twilight is mostly a set up for things to come. As I've read the reviews by other posters it seems that there's one common thread, people are sick of the set up with this series and ready for things to happen. I went into COT sharing that sentiment and fearing that I'd just spent two years waiting for another set up novel. Well my fears proved true. Nothing much happens to advance the plot, most of the story revolves around reaction to what happened at the end of Winter's Heart, things continue to build, and I absolutly loved the book. Now don't get me wrong, I'm just as ready as everyone else for something to happen but I think a clever reader can read between the lines on this one and see that things will start happening very very soon. There's so much getting ready to happen for the climax of the series. Things are beginning to be brought back together and I believe we're finally seeing the beginning of the end of WOT, something that's bittersweet to me. COT doesn't have the quick pace of the early novels, the suprising plot twists of the middle novels, or the grand developments that happened in WH. But what it does have is incredible potential for book 11. Even if book 11 turns out to be yet more set up I believe that by book 12 things will for sure be happening and I'd say this series has no more then 3 or 4 more books (Jordan's said he thinks only 2 more but quite frankly I'm not sure anyone believes that:) My reccomendaiton to those who don't think they can stomach another set up novel is to stick with it and realize they are in the hands of a master story writer who is going to give us a magnificent conclusion in just a few books. Have patientce and you'll be glad you did.
Rating: - Dying of Thirst
Being a Wheel of Time fan is like being in a dessert, dying of thirst. When a new book comes out, it's like finding a canteen or an oasis. You pray for water. Even if the water is tepid and salty you savor each drop. Crossroads is a cup of foul brine. Nothing happens! What have I been waiting for. A cliffhanger ending was the last thing this book needed. Three more years for the next book! Please Mr. Jordan, write the books that made me one of your biggest fans. I feel ill. :(
Rating: - Trash...
... utter, contemptable trash. Surely to goodness this will open up some of those Jordanites eyes. Plot movement... non exsistant. Again nothing happens. In fact, CoT beats PoD in terms of sheer boredom. I'll try and not give any real spoilers which so many reviewers here are prone to do... though there is really nothing to spoil. Perrin... his character is probably the only high point in this book... "high point" being a relative term, of course. An ant hill is a high point in the flat wasteland that is the WoT. His character takes a suprising turn in this book... "suprising" equating to clumsy. You'd think that after 9 books, Jordan could have eased Perrin into this attitude adjustment a little better. Like all the emotions and attitudes of the characters in this series, it just comes off as fake. I hardly call this "character development". There really isn't much of Rand. Not much of a loss. Afterall, there really isn't much of a book here either. As far as the rest... it's just Jordan playing around with all the loose ends again... bringing nothing to conclusion. It's obvious that now all he's trying to do in each book is drop a few more tidbits in for his *ahem* fans (I swear, these people make trekkies look sane) to debate over. "Oh gee... saidar seems to be failing. My o' my... what ever could this mean?", exclaims the ever-obssesive-jordanite-who-really-should-get-out-more-or-at-least-try-reading-other-books. Jordan should just turn WoT into a comic book. It's obvious he wants to keep writing this horrid series until his demise, and at least in a comic book format he could drag it out as long as he likes. Of course, he can't charge 21 bucks a pop for a comic book. And also, he'd have to churn 'em out pretty regularly... something obviously beyond his meager abilities. Nothing I say is going to influence most of the hardcore fanatics out there anyway. In their minds, Jordan is a flawless master of the written word... the rest of us are just too stupid to get it.
