Really want to know? You've read the fourth?

There you go. Hehe.

I love the Book-a-Minutes for the Wheel of Time. They're so much better than the actual books, hehe.-jay

Hehe, he sure had The Path Of Daggers down pat. I can't believe I actually used to think Jordon was good. Then I read Mordant's Need and The Lord of the Rings. Then I didn't think Jordan was very good anymore.

If I were you Revan, I would stop at the Fires of Heaven. That's the last book where anything actually happens. It's all downhill from there.

Lord of Chaos was pretty good. And it had an awesome ending. But yeah, all of the ones after that one definately sucked.-jay

Dunno, I still like Jordan. Maybe it's just the intricate history of his world, maybe it's that by reading and re-reading all those books so many times I'm unwilling to give up now.

Maybe it's the thought that it can't possibly get worse?

I like Jordan's world. Like, Randland and Shadowspawn and the One Power and Aes Sedai and.. stuff. It's very detailed, so you can do stuff with it, like, online PRG and communities and yeah. (Okay, I admit it, I hang at places like that

). The actual story, though... I dunno. I think I tired of it after LoC.

I still want to know what's going to happen, but it's not a great need or something..

I think you may have something there. His world is far more fascinating than the story has become. It's exactly that kind of detail that makes me like LotR and the chronicles as well.

It's just...well...Epic!

I am just upset that Jordan squandered such an elaborate world and interesting story so that he could keep cranking out Wheel of Time books for the rest of eternity. The Eye of The World is a fantastic novel, we get a fantastic view of what the world IS and stuff actually HAPPENS. I am almost tempted to go back and see exactly what it is he did to make the story slow down so much.

It is my opinion that in literature (and all art) the story is the point. The story is the reason for all that other junk to exist. Stephan King's advice to authors describes this perfectly. "When writing a novel, you should try to take out as much as you can that is not the story." Donaldson also holds the philosophy that environment is subservient to storytelling. It is a betrayal of not only his readers that he is doing this, but art as well.

P.S. Tallon, is your Avatar doing anything later?
