Wheel of Time

I have read all 9 of the Wheel of Time books. I have enjoyed them. No, Robert Jordan is not half the author Tolkien was, but I still found WOT enjoyable. Despite the annoying girls. Some of them get better later on. I find it funny that the Wheel of Time starts as a more gender-equality than previous fantasy, but as you go further in, the seemingly wise Aes Sedai are revealed as manipulative, (some) of the "strong" female characters get more and more superficial, and the main character ends up marrying all 3 of the girls who were chasing him. That last sentance was very long.
