End of Disc One Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've never seen a book get ripped apart quite like this. http://www.amazon.com/Crossroads-Twilight-Wheel-Time-Book/dp/0812571339/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436539788&sr=8-1&keywords=crossroads+of+twilight&pebp=1436539791722&perid=12E3RS72MYDQ2P6N7DFW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done the whole WoT thing yet. A 2 star average over 2000 sone reviews though that's brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifo87 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Found this thread by chance, I have purchased the book on Audible and done a re-listening to the first two books, just to refresh my memory. now, as I read the reviews and reaction to this book, I am hesitant ,I want to enjoy this last book :/ Anyway, I will wait till the next Joe Abercrombie's book, so I will have a good book to return to if i was disappointed by this one. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRevanchist Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yep, Joe is awesome so I have every confidence that it will be at least a decent reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The way this has turned out reminds me of Peter Brett, another very promising first book and then a steady derail for every next volume. Hopefully the Thorn of Emberlain will be the volume that reminds of us Lies of Locke Lamora again, quality wise. Scott is definitely not declining like Brett and Ryan, but each book is worse than the one before. Still, I do have faith in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I haven't read queen of fire yet but no matter how bad it is I doubt it will compare to the pure shit that is the daylight war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migey Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Havn't read this and now don't think I'll bother: have other things to read. I rather liked Blood Song, and thought Tower Lord was pretty bad with some major redeeming qualities (Frentis), and it's kinda dissapointed to hear he didn't recover things with this one. Wars and battles are actually really difficult to make very interesting and satisfactory to read, I find, and it's always kinda tough to avoid anti-climax when you set up something like the Ally.

Fifo87 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 My problem with Daylight Wars is that the story has TOO MANY FLASHBACKS instead of moving the plot forward, we are still stuck in the same place but only from different POVs, also, the romance between the warded man and his lover felt so out of character , I mean he left Leesha for HER? come on I had hoped to learn more about the demons themselves. now we are going to wait for this series to end when it could've ended as a Trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barty Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I got the book but after reading all of your reviews I don't think I'll go through it. It's kinda sad that all of these new series that started out with so much promise have become steaming piles of shit - Bloodsong was brilliant but then became crap, same for the demon cycle and the powder mage series.And though I was disappointed in the broken eye by Brent weeks I still have some hope for the fourth book. Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne is still going strong though - I thought book 2 (Providence of Fire) was brilliant. Can't wait for book 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowDogJen Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I just finished, and I liked it quite a bit! The ending was a little rushed, and a little confusing, but all in all, I was satisfied. You guys are harsh! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm about to hit page 200. And it's getting worse. I'm getting wheel of time vibes(that's bad).

HairBearHero Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This isn't complete shit so far, but damn is it dull. Yup. I'm at about 60% and struggling to remember from chapter to chapter what's happened or who people are. At no point has this grabbed my attention at all. Also, this whole "instant transition to badass" is getting dull. It was ridiculously implausible when it was Reva, it's ridiculously implausible when it's the Female Brother (Illan?). You simply don't become some world-ending badass ninja warrior capable of mowing down hundreds of soldiers with 6 months of training on the road.

Darth Richard II Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Now I'm trying to guess what the terrible ending is going to be. Space Vampires? A dream? They're trapped on the holodeck? Richard Rahl banishes the bad guys to liberal america? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
