    In this volume, Elayne, Aviendha, and Mat come ever closer to the bowl ter'angreal that may reverse the world's endless heat wave and restore natural weather. Egwene begins to gather all manner of women who can channel: Sea Folk, Windfinders, Wise Ones, and some surprising others. And above all, Rand faces the dread Forsaken Sammael, in the shadows of Shadar Logoth, where the blood-hungry mist, Mashadar, waits for prey.

    Story
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    Loved the first few books in this series, so I bought the rest all at once. Sadly they by this book there are just too many characters in too many places doing a whole lot of nothing. It really feels like he has run out or story and is just dragging along to fill the pages.


    What was most disappointing about Robert Jordan’s story?

    A great start to the series became too slow, too complicated, and too boring.


    What about Kate Reading and Michael Kramer ’s performance did you like?

    Great perfomers both


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Bored

    Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

    At the center of Middlemarch is Dorothea Brooke, a thoughtful and idealistic young woman determined to make a difference with her life. Enamored of a man who she believes is setting this example, she traps herself into a loveless marriage. Her parallel is Tertius Lydgate, a young doctor from the city whose passionate ambition to spread the new science of medicine is complicated by his love for the wrong woman.

    This book wasn???t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    no idea


    Would you ever listen to anything by George Eliot again?

    Have enjoyed his stuff before


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Here characters sounded very similare - not suprising really as there were way too many of them for any one book


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
