The Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan

Summary
The tenth book of the very, very long Wheel of Time series continues the story of Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn and his buddies. Mat, having kidnapped the Daughter of the Nine Moons is running for his life. Egwene is trying to recapture the White Tower. Perrin is trying to find his kidnapped wife. And Rand is lying in bed recovering from cleansing the taint on the male half of the Force Power.

What I liked
There was some suspense and some interesting parts, especially towards the end.

What I didn't like
Pretty much everything. This book was so SLOW!!! Frustratingly so! Boring! Too much talk and not enough action. Nothing really happens in this book, but Robert Jordan takes about six hundred pages to tell us so. And then, at the very end, one important thing happens, and the book ends.

Conclusion
If you're reading the series skip this book, you can find a summary online. I give it 1/5 cranky old ladies.
