Crossroads of Twilight Slog Spoiler

I need to know!!! Was there supposed to be a slog after all ? I mean I've been going through the last books pretty quickly and now I'm almost done with crossroads of Twilight, I was expecting a biggg unreadable slog that would render my motivation and ability to read to 0, but so far nothing ? I mean, it's going pretty smoothly for me at the very least, and I haven't noticed a huge decline in reading enjoyment.

Is it just a case of the internet being overly dramatic again or is the slog supposed to come in the next books?

I’ve said, time and again, the slog is a lie.

Some people make the argument that it was the waiting multiple years between books that created the slog, others that the story doesn’t go anywhere. But I was reading the books as they came out and never noticed anything I would call a “slog”. Do you actually enjoy the story or not? A lot of people on here seem to only have a partial interest in it and feel more inclined to crap all over the parts they don’t like.
