Lord
The Wheel of Time
Yo.
I've been reading "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan for the past couple of weeks. (Book 6, no spoilers!) I'm an insane fantasy/sci-fi fan, and I have to say...
I LOVE IT.
Not only is the *story* great -- as epic as LOTR, methinks -- the way the characters are presented -- each has struggles, they aren't black or white -- really makes the series seem more realistic than, say, LOTR, with everyone being either evil or good. The people have levels of evil, and many of them aren't *evil*, just misguided. I also like the way the books switch viewpoints, so you pick the brain of each character as it moves along.
So I covered from book 2 to book 6 in the past 5 days (3500 pages?). I haven't gotten much sleep. I'm going to finish book 6 tonight, and start on 7 tomorrow, probably.
Anyone else like this series?
(P.S. -- Happy 21st to me!)
