I have bad news for you Jordan is not a talented writer and you will find this out for yourself if you continue with the series. Basically a well written novel takes the shape of a quest; a linearly horizontal progression through narrative time, Jordan explodes that linearity in a bewildering near-dimensionless knot or tangle of non-progression, utterly stupid! That’s why in literature/English courses he is constantly used as an example of what not to do.Also as the series continues his use of grammar becomes extremely childish; many believe his wife took over much of the writing in later books because of the extremes in ability and content. ‘She managed to be pretty if not beautiful despite a nose that was overbold at best’—at best? How would it have been if it had been the worst?‘Gaunt cheeks and a narrow nose hid the ageless quality of the red sister’s features’: so ‘cheeks’ and ‘nose’ don’t count as features? Her eyebrows climbed as she directed her gaze back to them, eyes black as her white-winged hair, a demanding stare of impatience so loud she night as well have shouted. Her eyes are black, they’re white, her eyebrows are escaping, her gaze is audible.This, this is all terribly written. I don’t just mean the style, although the style is awful. I mean the whole kit and kaboodle: the overall structure, and the narrative, the pacing and focalisation, the characterisation, the dialogue, the tone. All of it. The writing is bad from the get-go.
