on robert jordan's wheel of time series and why i like it as much as i do.

i'm putting this up because i was talking about this series with some friends of mine, and they raised some very valid points that made me honestly wonder why i keep coming back when jordan repeats the same mistakes over and over again (sanderson has cleaned up some of them, but he is trying to keep the books in the same mold, so).
( thinky thoughts, incredibly wordy and rambly )

also, i kind of get a kick out of chapter 1 of each book starting with the exact same paragraph with just the place where the wind originates changing. formulae like that are kind of cool ^_^
