I like the series but Jordan REALLY needs to edit himself more. I found myself speedreading entire chapters because little happens. Sakes alive I do not need intricate details of every characters clothes. At this point I have read a ton about them already and can imagine what Rand and company look like or think in general. If it doesnt advance the plot or enrich the reading experience cut it. I've heard 11 is better. I really look forward to the conclusion of all this. Can he wrap it up though in less than 1000 pages?

I love David Brin. This is an interesting take on future where we solve not having enough time by making temporary copies of ourselves. Cool Sci-fi.
