The eye of the world . . .

I must say that some authors get better as they keep going along. I bet that this is also true of Jordan as well. I must be honest it has taken me several readings to get interested in his novels but I think that I have finnally managed to get interested in the novels. Although I agree that his sucessive novels are better than the ones that came before there is one bit of critisism I would venture to Jordan himself if I ever met him. He has a very large number of characters that tend to be a bit hard to keep track of. He has something like fiffty characters each doing different things in his novels. Although I do agree that these are great novels he really should thin the field a bit.
