(involves leeching peoples lives for magic power( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magister_Trilogy I've read WoL up to the beginning of the 10th book, and it got really tedious reading so I stopped. I have also read the first book in the Shannara trilogy and it was pretty decent. Another good fantasy author is Raymond Feist. His first book called "Magician" is probably one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. | ||

Agreed, I'm just skimming a lot of paragraphs because nothing happens in them, but the overarching story is too awesome to stop reading altogether. raymond e. feist books are much more fun though, the world is maybe not as deep and the persona's are more stereotypes, but it's just much awesomer and much less longwinded. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Sanderson had a good dozen different loose plot ends that he ended in this book and managed to get all those random armies gathered to one spot ready for TG. Because of this the story progresses pretty quickly and we don't get the in depth dialog of the previous books. No asmo killer as far as i saw. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Graendal, you can infer it from when she gets taken to be punished "You've caused the death of 3 Forsaken now" Or something along those lines. Or more definitely in the glossary where its flatly stated it was her. | ||

Towers of Midnight seemed to confirm this, what with the bubble of happy-time that follows Rand around now... But then again, maybe we're not out of the woods yet. Nynaeve *saw* his mind, and whoa. And then his ex-lover popped into his head for a surprise visit in the last few pages... Slightly confused here. What the hell really happened to Cyndane? | ||

What the hell really happened to Cyndane? + Show Spoiler + I think he's fine for the most part, his insanity was mostly Lews Therin right? I remember Rand having "white" with the black thorns, whereas the other guy (Naeff?) Nynaeve healed didn't. I assumed that Lews Therin is the white holding back the thorns or something to that extent, because Rand never manifested any other symptoms that I remember. Cyndane is Lanfear isn't she? Her torment is probably Moridin playing with that uh, soul-box thingy that he carries. Either she's reaching out for help or it's a plan to get Rand. Likely she plans for both. Do we still need spoilers? | ||

Umm sword of truth liberally borrows from wot and is considered by most to be a dumbed down version. How do people say the books are shallow there is more character depth and just an astounding amount of actual complexity to it. | ||
