If I never hear the phrase "insufferable woman" again, that will be a good thing. Same with a woman "sniffing" to show displeasure. That got...tiring.

As the series went on it became clear that Jordan didn't really know how to write a "real" woman. Almost all were horrible. The best ones were simply tolerable.

Another series (although only three books) I would put up to this one is the CrystL Shard Series. Maybe even the first Dragon Lance series.

Here's a thought who would you cast in each of the roles (two thoughts from today's pool of actors and from any age).

I can't fathom putting a dragon lance or forgotten realms book or trilogy in the same category or level as WOT. That's like putting a Benz in an economy class category! And I loved the fact that the series went 10+ books. I didn't really want it to end.

As far as actors goes, I'd have to say they be better off getting relatively unknown actors. Mainstream actors would be too distracting I think.

Personally I don't care how long a series is, it's how well it is written and how I feel about the characters. I got so tired of everbody being so angry, it was just plain tiring. And how everybody kept trying to "run away" from their "calling". I don't care for people in real life that are driven by anger so I had a hard time with many of the characters. I was so glad when Rand finally pulled his head out of his butt and started talking to people instead of yelling at them.

Some loose ends to me were Tam and Rand. So will Rand go to him and tell him who he is or just let the man who raised him die thinking his son was dead and possibly never know some future grandchildren. Or what about his three wives? The bond was evidently still there so how would he just remarry the three? Leave his wives even though they know he is still alive and go marry someone else? Or go live alone.
What about the ways? Were they cleansed too or are they lost? Can they be recreated now that there is a black tower too? What happened to Mat and Tuon? Did the dream come true and the Seanchan conquered all the lands? Tune in next time for the answers to these and many other questions!
