As noted previously, up through book 6 or so, it looked a hell of a lot like the series to beat. Maybe not something that would overtake Tolkien, but a well-written and intelligently handled fantasy epic. Since then, things have declined badly. At this point, I'm not recommending the series until it's over. I'll keep reading it (unless I become convinced Jordan is just milking his fans), but it won't be worth recommending unless the ending makes up for the messy middle. -- Matthew Hunter (matthew at infodancer.org) Public Key: http://matthew.infodancer.org/public_key.txt Homepage: http://matthew.infodancer.org/index.jsp Politics: http://www.triggerfinger.org/index.jsp
