Don't really like the Wheel of Time author....and I've already read it...and mistakenly bought the game, which I immediately returned.

Well if you consider that I live alone, and have to cook and wash dishes etc., and sleep...well I read them in rather less than a day.

What do you mean don't really like the author?

What can I say..I don't like R Jordan, don't like Terry Goodkind very much either.

/e Both of them write well...but they fill the books with so much other crap than the story...or worse...they repeat whole paragraphs, over and over, like the reader had ADD or some shyt.

Robert Jordan kicked the bucket before he finished it and Brandon Sanderson finished the series.

I didn't say the series was the best ever. All I said was he wasn't able to finish the series and someone else did.
