Interview #181: COT Book Tour Wrap-up, Entry #4

Robert Jordan

Most people by far seemed to like Crossroads , though one or two did complain that “nothing happened.” I can see their point, in a way, but I think they were expecting another grand battle. I recall that a number of books ago I got some complaints from people because I hadn’t killed off another of the Forsaken in a book and hadn’t broken another of the seals on the Dark One’s prison. There are always expectations that the books will go in a certain way, follow a certain path, and that isn’t always the path I intend to follow. Myself, I think a great deal happened in Crossroads , even if it wasn’t slam-bang stuff. In any case, I did plan for some of that, but those things will have to come in the next book because putting them into this one would have required at least another five or six months of writing and produced a thousand-page book.
