I feel bad for suggesting Robert Jordan to my friends. Luckily I've redeemed myself by getting them into George R.R. Martin.There's not much more to say that hasn't already been written here. This series was at one time my favorite. It has fallen so low that I don't even think about it much anymore. I'm guessing that Mr. Jordan never comes to sites like this to see what his fans are saying. That's too bad because I'm sure he has lost quite a few with how the more recent books have been. Add to that the prequels and now I'm about ready to give up on him.
