Once on the cover, it says something like "Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal." I'm still curious as to what world did Tolkien only begin to reveal. The world I can think of Tolkien revealing he seemed to me to have completed it fully. The second mention says "Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien" From what I have read, it seems as if the womens' role in Jordans book is the comic relief and a piece of flesh for the men to drool over. I haven't seen any women characters who seem to be able to turn the tide of a battle by killing a Phantasmal Creature that rides a flying steed. </p>
