No, you're not. It was OK - I was more happy that the series seemed to be progressing RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 29/12/2009 03:43:59 PM
I re-read it a couple of times, and the little inconsistencies you spoke of and others have referenced become more and more glaring each time. There were quite a few sections, especially during the Tower raid, that didn't have the pay off they should have.

I actually gave it to a friend of mines who started the series but didn't have time to buy the book before finals started for him. To put this into perspective, I've read through three different copies of The Shadow Rising so many times that each have fallen apart necessitating new purchases and have numerous bookmarks and dogears in Books II, III, V and VI. But with TGS I re-read a few sections, then gave it away to be returned later in 2010.

They could have just not finished the series. Crackbrained Asha'man - 24/12/2009 06:16:49 AM 1358 Views
It was better than POD or COT if you ask me. It was as good as I could have asked for from BS *NM* amirebram - 25/12/2009 12:10:51 AM 569 Views
OK, maybe the writting wasn't as good, but the story was better than the previous couple of books *NM* amirebram - 29/12/2009 08:24:17 AM 521 Views

Except for the Mat parts, it was fairly good. Mossman - 30/12/2009 04:30:15 AM 1104 Views
Yeah, CoT is one of the WoT books I don't even use as a reference. I try to forget it. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/12/2009 03:53:25 PM 562 Views
It's kind of sad Mossman - 31/12/2009 03:25:03 AM 1142 Views
