Robert Jordan…

I’m not going to be reading anything by him anytime soon. Largely because I found the story he wrote set in his Wheel of Time universe for the Legends anthology really overblown. I find it difficult to relate to characters whose names I can’t even pronounce. Plus there’s something about the descriptions we’re given of the Aes Sedai that bothers me. I’m not sure what that would be, but there it is.

Anyway, I’m getting the impression that the Dragon Reborn (who I understand is supposed to be the main character in the series itself) is a horrible Marty Stu. I mean, Jordan sets him up that way in the novella what with all those said Aes Sedai trying to capture him to “gentle” him.

Yeah, so… One less fantasy series I think I’ll be investing in.
