Informació de l'obraCrossroads of Twilight de Robert Jordan
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I enjoy hearing Egwene's thoughts as she plays politics with the Aes Sedai. And Mat's story is as amusing and entertaining as ever. (  ) Michael_J | Jun 2, 2022 |  Þokkaleg saga en ákaflega kaflaskipt og það sem verra er að þeim söguþráðum sem Jordan byrjar á klárar hann ekki einu sinni í þessari sögu. Wheel of Time var stórvirkið hans og mér finnst sem að 700 bls. bók hafi í raun aðeins verið smá kafli í stóru sögunni. (  ) SkuliSael | Apr 28, 2022 | For me, this one was a slog (as my reading dates indicate). Overlapping the events of the previous novel, the reader is often placed in the frustrating position of knowing "what's happened" (i.e. Rand and Nynaeve's cleansing of the male half of the One Power from the taint of the Dark one) when, repeatedly, the numerous characters in this novel wonder and propose false assumptions. Despite its 700 pages, the narrative barely inches forward. ALL of the many unresolved plots at the end of the last novel remain unresolved: -- Perrin seeking to rescue his beloved Faile from the Shaido Aiel, -- Matt fleeing the Seachen with Tuon, the Empire's Daughter Heir (and his unrequited prophesized betrothed), -- Elayne seeking support to be acknowledged and crowned the Queen of Andor, -- Egwene striving to overthrow Elaida, the usurper, and unite the White Tower, -- Rand's fight against the Forsaken and the Dark One, the betrayal and attempted assassination of him by his own Black Tower, and preparing for the Last Battle. Essentially, nothing happens in this tome. Jordan still has a gift of retaining familiarity by his readers, for the most part, with his cast of hundreds. Although, I suspect this would not be true if I had read these books as they were written with gaps of a year or more between. This is one benefit to my having waited to read them one after the other after the series was complete. ( ) Dr_Bob | Mar 25, 2022 | Another placeholder entry in this series. Not a whole lot happens here, but there is a lot of discussion about it just the same. ( ) KrakenTamer | Oct 23, 2021 | Now this one was a SLOG. There have been many, many times in WOT where I've wondered if we will ever get anywhere. In this book we truly don't. The endless political machinations of both the White Tower and Andor were so boring. Too many people who the reader does not care about at all. Reaching the end of the audio was a relief.

The Wheel of Time ® is a PBS Great American Read Selection! Now in development for TV! Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Fleeing from Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, whom he is fated to marry, Mat Cauthon learns that he can neither keep her nor let her go, not in safety for either of them, for both the Shadow and the might of the Seanchan Empire are in deadly pursuit. Perrin Aybara seeks to free his wife, Faile, a captive of the Shaido, but his only hope may be an alliance with the enemy. Can he remain true to his friend Rand and to himself? For his love of Faile, Perrin is willing to sell his soul. At Tar Valon, Egwene al'Vere, the young Amyrlin of the rebel Aes Sedai, lays siege to the heart of Aes Sedai power, but she must win quickly, with as little bloodshed as possible, for unless the Aes Sedai are reunited, only the male Asha'man will remain to defend the world against the Dark One, and nothing can hold the Asha'man themselves back from total power except the Aes Sedai and a unified White Tower. In Andor, Elayne Trakland fights for the Lion Throne that is hers by right, but enemies and Darkfriends surround her, plotting her destruction. If she fails, Andor may fall to the Shadow, and the Dragon Reborn with it. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn himself, has cleansed the Dark One's taint from the male half of the True Source, and everything has changed. Yet nothing has, for only men who can channel believe that saidin is clean again, and a man who can channel is still hated and feared-even one prophesied to save the world. Now, Rand must gamble again, with himself at stake, and he cannot be sure which of his allies are really enemies. TV series update: "Sony will produce along with Red Eagle Entertainment and Radar Pictures. Rafe Judkins is attached to write and executive produce.
