I took a pause after Book 11, going to read the final 3 as one long book here soon.
But yes, Book 10 is terrible structure more than it is overtly terrible writing.
I was listening to Sanderson discuss his work on Wheel of Time and he said that they he originally tried to do Gathering Storm / Towers of Midnight as one book and when they decided they had to split him up, the publisher originally was going to do it just in half but he went back and revised / separated them into two separate books by picking out chapters and POV and reworking some things.
I think I remember him saying that this is why Book 10 was so bad. They did the same thing to make it two books but instead just split it in half which explains a lot I think. I could have heard it wrong though

Crossroads is just awful stuff. I remember waiting a few years between books and getting CoT and thinking WHAT IN THE frick IS THIS.
Its clear that Jordan had tied himself into a knot trying to figure out how to put the characters into their end game. He really figured it out big time in the next book, sadly he passed right after.
