A review by rhysciar
A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan
3.0
Okay, so here's the thing: on top of my 8 hour/day work I have my university studies, and a huge exam is coming up in december or january.
I really don't have time to read anything, and this book was the biggest victim of it.
I've speed read most of it (I only had 10-20 minutes when I had a day where I could read), and that took my enjoyment out of it. Although I still think this is hugely overwritten, I swear to myself that the next book I'll read in this series, I'll read it normally, word by word.
So that's that. Not much happened in this book, at least in my opinion, so I wonder how the story will follow. One thing I especially hated was the part where the queen forced herself on Mat. That was handled very badly, aged very badly, and the part where Elayne and the others get to know the truth was handled worse...
Apart from this, I do hope Rand will cleanse saidin now, because at this point it's insane he haven't done it yet.
Also what the hell was that scene with Nynaeve and Lan? ugh...
