Srsly, when I reread 5-10, I find myself skipping anything that doesn't involve Mat, Rand, or Logain. It's just...blah. Also, needs more Loial yo.
I still lurv the Rand/Mat stories enough to buy the books tho lol |
I could not agree with you more about Elayne, she is easily the most annoying female character in any book I have ever read. I really like Perrin though, but I've always been a sucker for "inner struggle" oriented characters.
My biggest gripe about the series though, is that I like to re-read series once a year or two, and with W.O.T. it ends up feeling more like a chore by book 5 or so than something that's fun to do.
But yeah, he needs to start wrapping things up, if it goes for more than 3 additional books, it will have gone WAY too far.
