Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a Wheel of Time Fanatic. I've read the series more than 7 times in total, in book form and Audiobook, and some of the early books are falling apart because I've read them more than fifteen times apiece. Suffice it to say that I'm the kind of guy who was waiting out in front of the bookstore early on a Tuesday, and could barely believe that I was the only one. I should love the WoT Companion. But I don't. There are some interesting entries. Cadsuane's, as well as a few other Aes Sedai entries, are well done. Some of the minor characters have a bit of an expanded history, and there are occasionally a few turns of phrase that, while anachronistic and occasionally goofy ("adventures were her bag"), tell you that this entry was largely part of Robert Jordan's notes file, not meant to be released to the public. At times, it's an interesting look behind the scenes. And then there's the fact that really, there's almost no new information in this 800+ page behemoth. I don't honestly think it's fair to expect there to be answers to everything I've ever wondered about in the series, but I put together a list of 75 issues and/or characters that I wanted to know something more about, and out of the 75, exactly one was resolved from having read this glossary. Nakomi was "a mysterious Aiel woman whom Aviendha met in the Waste" and there is no clarity on what may have become of favorite characters after the Last Battle. Aside from a mention of Rand's pipe, nothing else is said, and there is no expanded information on anything related to the Age of Legends, Demandred (that we didn't know already) or Shara. Minor mysteries from within the series are often glossed over, and the mechanics of interesting abilities (Slayer, Androl) are not explained in any great depth. Some backstories that may have been interesting, especially in the cases of most Black and/or Red sisters, are missing. In many cases, but particularly in the case of the Forsaken, the BWB has the glossary completely beat. It's not really for casual fans of the series, and it's not really for for me, the poster-boy of superfandom, so who is this for really? A part of my collection, but not one I'll revisit.
