Query: From greatness to mediocrity

The first five books in the Wheel of Time series were excellent additions to the world of Fantasy. I thought that we finally had a writer in Robert Jordan who could easily rival JRR Tolkien for plot, characterization and drawing the reader into a great world. Books six to nine slowly disabused me of that notion, as they increasingly became confused and mundane. But this book is by far the worst of Robert Jordan's entire series. Its a filler, like a bad Saturday night TV show, something to hold you over until the movie you wanted to watch begins. The lack of action, the poor attention to previous plots and storylines make this a book without purpose. There is no tension or motive in this text, one may as well have condensed the book into three or four chapters in a book that moved the story along. If it wasn't for the fact that this book would leave a gapping hole in your collection, I would say don't buy it.
