How so, you say? Well, here is how. He has taken so damn long to write them, that a great number of his fans have
started to lose interest. I for one, haven't touched a WoT book in around 6 months, so last night, I picked up Path of Daggers,
and opened it up to a random page. It happened to be the part where Rand was chatting with Min about Mat's disapperance.
Now, at this point, I said to myself, "Mat....Mat...who the hell is Mat?" I'm not joking. In almost every chat he has, you hear RJ
say "Blah, blah, blah," about how he isn't even sure of a title on book 9. BOOK 9!! The fact there are 9 books in his series is
ridiculous. He has written in the fashion of heavy description, which was cool for a while. Now, however it is just a waste of
time to read. Do we really have to know how many times the women sniff, or tug their braids? Sometimes I think that some of
the subplots(which are too many to keep track of) are completely unnecesary. The first one that comes to mind when I say this
is that bit on the Bowl of the Winds. I can just hear RJ "Hmmm....when all the interesting stuff is going on...I better make up
something stupid to keep Elayne and Nyneave occupied". 70 percent of CoS was boring drivel about what they did in
ohhh....what was that city? So, class, lets go over this again.
1) RJ is wasting time writing his gargantuan epic, and pissing his fans off.
2) RJ writes in boring, unecessary detail.
3) RJ has way to many subplots.
Now, I'll probably get grilled for writing this, but has anyone ever read Lord of the Rings? Tolkien writes the greatest series ever
written(and thats the proffesional book critics talking, you WoT junkies), in just 3 books. He describes Middle Earth just as
well, and has true emotion in his dialogues. Tolkien did as much as Jordan, and then some. Jordan seems obsessed with writing
the greatest epic of all time, but is just turning up the longest. Now, I realize that the majority of people who will read this are
foam at the mouth Wheel of Time junkies, so my energies may be wasted. Well, I could go on, but I would just end up sounding like Jordan.
