It's a good story and fun to read.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Putting names into a blender isn't the same as weaving together great themes. Tom - 06/12/2009 03:17:05 PM 539 Views
No, Indeed It Is Not. The Name With No Man - 06/12/2009 04:37:23 PM 433 Views
Oh my God...trying to use agape in context of this series is overkill to the nth degree. Tom - 07/12/2009 04:12:56 AM 452 Views
It may not provide intrinsic value to you. But for me, yes. redhand - 07/12/2009 06:06:40 AM 483 Views

Read what Larry's Short History of Fantasy says about Jordan. Tom - 07/12/2009 05:56:03 PM 526 Views
Oh some book says it, so it must be true! fionwe1987 - 08/12/2009 05:57:14 AM 406 Views

Fair Enough. The Name With No Man - 08/12/2009 07:02:04 PM 786 Views
If it were just about Jordan I could ignore this last ridiculous comment. Tom - 09/12/2009 03:56:47 PM 511 Views
Louis La'mour said about himself he wasn't an author so much as a storyteller... Shannow - 06/12/2009 03:41:09 PM 476 Views
It's a Popular, If Perhaps Suspicious, Claim. The Name With No Man - 06/12/2009 04:55:25 PM 505 Views
Ha. Funny, I feel the same way, and come to the opposite conclusion. Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2009 08:42:41 AM 439 Views
Amen to that. Lord of the Rings rules! fionwe1987 - 08/12/2009 09:03:33 AM 399 Views
I've never been able to finish the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Too boring, with fairy tale characters Shannow - 09/12/2009 12:28:26 PM 399 Views
That Is a Great Shame. The Name With No Man - 09/12/2009 01:27:44 PM 394 Views
I enjoyed the Silmarrilion though...the part about the Valar and their comparative strengths... Shannow - 09/12/2009 01:39:47 PM 384 Views

That's.. too bad, I guess? Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2009 08:40:49 PM 387 Views
Arya Stark, yes... Shannow - 10/12/2009 08:48:32 AM 398 Views
Re: Arya Stark, yes... Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2009 04:56:07 PM 427 Views
Seems to me you've inverted it. Fanatic-Templar - 08/12/2009 08:48:07 AM 388 Views

I'll Try to Rephrase Then (Including the Spoiler. ) The Name With No Man - 09/12/2009 12:49:55 PM 402 Views
I don't really see any "great" themes per se, just an enjoyable story, like the pulp serials. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/12/2009 03:32:43 PM 429 Views
