Slogging through Crossroads of Twilight is worth it

To slog or not to slog? That, unfortunately is the question in one of the slowest books of The Wheel of Time. Stephen, Jake and Kaden love the series but had to search to find redeeming factors in this one.
Next Up: A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie
Followed By: The Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie

I really enjoy this format with a first-time reader and veterans discussing these books. As a first time reader of this series myself I was watching Stephen and Jake like a hawk, microanalysing their body language to try to decode possible spoilers in the next books. I noticed Stephens eyes twitching ever so slightly when Aviendha was mentioned. Aviendhas death in the next book confirmed! Jokes aside though I've really enjoyed all of your discussion videos of this series thus far, you've earned a sub!

[@FantologyPodcast]

Haha. Definitely analyze all of our body language! Thanks for watching and supporting :-)

This was really the only book so far I've felt was a slog. There were parts of other books that were slow, but this entire book was meh

[@jesseemerson7383]

This book is inexcusable. Thankfully Knife of Dreams is infinitely better so far, it even has a plot. But like you said, you can’t really quit at this point of the series. Glad I got through it.

[@tomsativa]

Right. I was so hyped when I got to book 11 last year. Jordan's last book before passing and I had the last og cover before BAM stopped selling them

[@MrSoderlingfan]

Just wanted to let you guys know how amazing i think your youtube channel is

[@FantologyPodcast]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate your kind words. We put a lot into the channel and it's nice to hear from people that watch :)

Color me weird, but I like Matt getting his shine in CoT.

[@GentleGiantJason]

Mat killed Melindra in FoH. He doesn’t like killing women but Rand is worse. Rand killed one dark friend in TDR but that’s the only one. Rand couldn’t kill Lanfear.

[@FantologyPodcast]

Yes Melindra of course!

[@FantologyPodcast]

Right, the LTT connection makes sense. I didn't know that about Robert Jordan. That's some good context. Thanks for the comment!

The slog or as we called it, the lull was so named because it originally took just a tad under 10 1/2 years from the release of book 7 to book 11. At least readers today can blow through books 8-10 and know the rest of the series is waiting for them immediately on the other side greatly diminishing the near depression state we endured waiting for book releases.

[@FantologyPodcast]

We had the unfair privilege of not starting the series until the first 10 had already come out

[@Finnssssss]

@@FantologyPodcast Exactly! Bastards! Lol On the bright side we had a metric shitton of time to delve into every little detail of every single plot and character.

[@FantologyPodcast]

😜

[@alexanderwill8781]

Do you guys recommend reading New spring next or jumping right into KoD on your first read? I just finished crossroads of twilight for the first time

[@FantologyPodcast]

Either way honestly. If you are okay jumping back in time and getting some clarification on Moraine & Lan do NS. But if you just want this storyline to continue then you can keep on going through the main books
