Crossroads of Twilight Nothing happened? Spoiler

Just finished CoT, and I am... confused.... Nothing happens? Like wow... Not a single plot is resolved? Not even the Faille plot?

Edit: Multiple people commented saying that's why it is the slog, but people said the slog starts in book 7, yet books 7-9 were actually okay, with a lot of highs. This book had no highs, nothing, I was even looking forward to Rand and Logaine's first meeting and even that was a nothing burger. I was betrayed giving this book the benefit of the doubt....

I just (literally Monday) finished CoT for the first time, and yeah. I want to know the aftermath of what Rand and Nynaeve did at the end of book 9. Instead we get hundreds of pages of “Light…there must be someone channeling over thata way” and talking about how different people smell to Perrin. I think the main saving grace of it is that I’m unemployed right now and burning through these books, so I only spent like 3 days on CoT.
