Our view
Some readers call the tenth Wheel of Time book the low point of the series: the atmosphere is intact, but very little moves, and the first two thirds are heavy going. The last third recovers, and at least one storyline reaches a conclusion that hits hard. It is worth reading only as a bridge within the saga; knowing in advance that it is slow makes it easier to get through.
