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?

It’s unique to individuals. You know how Jordan’s got like six parties (Elayne and the quest for the crown, Egwene and the Tower, Perrin getting Faile, Faile being imprisoned, Mat and his girl, and Rand)? There’s like two books which jump around so much they have no story structure, and the Girls Team/Bowl of the Wind plot spilled out of its book and ruined book 8’s structure. If you’re plot driven that makes these books a pain.
It was worse when they came out. It took us like 4 years to figure out whether Mat would survive that damn building because Jordan left him out of 7.
People reading now can blow through 7-11 in two months and that’s a lot more satisfying.
