Query: Wheel of Time takes a vacation

First off, I have absolutely loved the first seven book of WOT. Secondly, Book Eight is a disgrace to the previous seven.The eternal struggle between good and evil seems to be on vacation. The plot lines have hardly been advanced and the climatic scences that have closed the previuos books was sorely missing. Mat is competely missing from this book, which is a shame. It felt like this book was meant as a placeholder, setting up all of the storylines to continue in book nine. I felt robbed that I waited 2.5 years for this. I am hoping that Book 9 picks up where book seven left off. For the first time in this series, I won't re-read this book.
