re

I found the first book unbearably Tolkienesque but as you proceed with the series, Jordan develops his own rather enjoyable style. One of the main flaws is that there are 9 books of about a thousand pages each and still going strong. However, there can be no comparison between Tolkien and Jordan. Tolkien is by far the better of the two.
