then you'll detest the wheel of time, IMO Robert Jordan has a wonderful imagination, and a great sense of drama, but he NEEDS an editor. far more verbose than Tolkien, to the point that in later books, his long-winded style feels self-indulgent. he simply didn't need all those novels to be 1000 pages long. by 'winter's heart', i felt that he was dragging the story out simply for the sake of it.
anyway, take my opinion with a grain of salt. i think LOTR is the greatest-ever achievement in fantasy writing ;-)
