Title: A good imatation
Product review: Ok, first off, that one 12 year old kid who said these were the best books, obviously never read "The Wheel of Time". When you read these you think, WOT hardcore, kind of like the ECW is hardcore wrestling, same thing. This took the plots and ideas of the Wheel and gave 'em a hardcore touch. Not that it isn't well written, the dialog is just as unbelievable as most of current fantasy, a flaw most fantasy readers have grown used to. There's the Tolkien ideas, Dark Lords, magic rings or swords or trinkets, made up monsters, ect. Then there the Robert Jordan ideas, women with a "one power", complete calmness of mind, group of remote people who almost all follow a Super-hero leader, ect. There are a lot of good charecters in this series, ones that keep you thinking about their fates long after the books are over. Overall, it uses the same tricks other Epic Fantasies of our day, and rakes in the cash. Buy it for a good time, don't expect any new ideas, though, just a good imatation.
