Chronicle Toward Books Towers of Midnight (The Wheel of Time #13)
The end draws near.... The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One’s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight. The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age. Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod and find a way--at long last--to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The creatures beyond the stone gateways--the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn--have confused him, taunted him, and left him hanged, his memory stuffed with bits and pieces of other men’s lives. He had hoped that his last confrontation with them would be the end of it, but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The time is coming when he will again have to dance with the Snakes and the Foxes, playing a game that cannot be won. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost. This penultimate novel of Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling series--the second of three based on materials he left behind when he died in 2007--brings dramatic and compelling developments to many threads in the Pattern. The end draws near. Dovie’andi se tovya sagain. It’s time to toss the dice.

I initially skipped over my review of Towers of Midnight because I was in such a rush to get into A Memory of Light. Now I'm finally getting back to it, and it makes me kind of sad that I'm actually finished reading the series and that I've just carried blithely on with my life since then.The end of The Gathering Storm felt so momentous to me that I was dying to jump into this book. But I had forgotten that the massive scope of this epic meant that other characters needed their chance, and whenThere should be more stars to rate this book!!!! Wowwww!!!!
Narrative structure is taught in middle school and refreshed in high school. So surely it would safe to assume that it's standard stuff.Exposition, rising action, climax, falling action.I'm sure someone's about to correct me.Before you do, I'll note that when I was a kid, there were five parts of plot. Most textbooks that I come across now list four. And different names and charts are used in different textbooks.What controls all of this? Tension. Excitement. Suspense? How about conflict?
Oh god, half of this book must have been devoted to Perrin. Even wishy-washier than ever.What was up with the ending? Totally random and failed attempt to do something exciting.Nothing happens in this book. I never really understood when people said that about Jordan before, but it's quite obvious in this one.The last one by Sanderson was awesome. This one is pure drivel.The way Egwene defeated Mesaana was pathetic. She barely tried.The way everyone except Nynaeve and kinda Perrin assumes Rand's
****** Prelude to the actual review and doesn't need to be read before the body of the review ********* : originally reviewed Nov.2010. Updated Dec. 2014. I'm about a third of the way through this book and I've got to say that while there are some wonderful moments, Sanderson is carrying on Jordan's tradition of beating a subject or plot point not only to death but till it falls apart and starts to stink!I am heartily sick to death of Perrin's self flagellation and flat refusal to accept ANY
If I knew 13 years ago what I know now, I probably would never have begun reading the Wheel of Time series.It's really fun. It has some terrific ideas. I can't wait to see how it's going to end. I'm committed.But that's the problem. I don't really have much more motivation to read the series anymore beyond the fact that I'm committed to it.This book was fun. Some exciting things happened that we've been waiting for for a long time. But it took 500 pages before I felt like the pace of the story
I finished the latest WoT book the other day, an exercise that, in many ways, feels like an obligation or, at least, the literary manifestation of "in for a penny, in for a pound." In other words, I have read all the others and I want to know how it ends. However, I have felt for some time like the books are an ongoing prologue filled with meetings that suggest what is going to happen without well, actually happening.(From here be warned: spoilers).To wit: what would seem to be a major scene
