Query: SORELY disappointing

I opened the book with relish and began reading, in hopes that the previously flagging story line would pick up and fly again. Sadly, that didn't happen. I moped from page to uninteresting page and characters talked and dithered and talked some more.Nothing truly interesting happens in this book. I have stopped feeling for the characters that seemed realistic in earlier books. In this latest installment of the Wheel of Time, the characters seem to be going through motions like mediocre actors in desparate need of a break.Possibly the worst insult is that Rand, The Dragon Reborn, (and supposed main character for the series) doesn't not appear until page 529! Even then, the reader does not stay with him for more than a handful of pages. Whatever happened to "show, don't tell"?Steer clear of this one, folks, and find a book worth spending your time upon.
