I win again Lews Therin

Yeah I agree about the diversity part though it was hit or miss. For me I liked the internal struggles faced by the main characters and how they grow over the course of the series. I know RJ is not the first to write such a progression but it is so satisfying for me to read idk why lol.

Tbh I feel Rand is one of the most fleshed out characters in fantasy lol. I guess his arc is not concentrated in one particular book like

___Perrin in CoT but spans over the entire series. I also feel his struggle with being the Dragon Reborn is also well shown throughout the books. Its subtle but I feel its there. Its things like these where I think a reread will really show the subtleties missed the first time around:::

Tbh I liked Nynaeve, Egwene (?) and desert lady (ae something?) arcs more.

Rand stuff maybe dragged a wee bit much plus harem stuff is kinda cringe

Edit: also also penultimate and one of the 8-9 book can be removed completely, outside of “aes sedai it” phrase, but I guess poor Sanderson didn’t know why it has to happen.

Oh I liked all the main character arcs so far(Book 11). I’d be hard pressed to choose one which i liked the most.

spoiler

Mat dealing with his sense of responsibilty, Perrin coming to terms with his dark side, Nynaeve overcoming her need for anger as a way to cope with increasing challenges. Egwene…well if I had to say which character arc pleased me the most it would be hers. She has grown into her role as Amyrlin so well. Not only that but she presents a nice contrast to Rand in leadership and how she navigates challenges whereas Rand just bulldozes through them:::

About removing books from the ‘slog’ I feel ya but I’ve come to adore the series so much that any excuse to stay a bit longer in Randland is good enough for me, no matter how slow it is.

Ps. Yeah the the harem thing was cringe. Jordan should’ve just made Aviendha and Elayne a pair instead of the harem stuff. The subtext is definetly there for that.
