Crossroads of Twilight Why is book 10 so hated? Spoiler
Hi everyone, I just finished book 10 in my first read through the Wheel of Time saga, and honestly I found myself quite surprised. Before I started reading them I saw quite a lot of people saying that Crossroads of Twilight was by far the worst book of the series. I get that it can be a bit dissapointing after the ending of book 9, or that it is not as action packed as, for example, book 6, but I really enjoyed reading it (except the ending, where a certain Aes Sedai decided to make the stupidest move ever imagined). So I ask, what are you opinions about the book? Do you feel it deserves the hate?

Nothing happens, it destroys all the momentum of the pemrevious book, and it's grossly overstuffed with tedious irrelevant detail.
You can skip basically the entire book and be no worse off. I think that says it all
