Negative Positive
Title: Fantasy mimics reality, unfortunately
Review: The Wheel of Time series started with such promise but has become hopelessly mired in political manuvering, sort of like the United Nations.The removal of one of the greatest stumbling blocks to our heroes, the taint on Saidin (the male half of magic) has caused a complete stop in the progress of the story.It appears that Robert Jordan relied so heavily on the problems assosiated with men using The One Power that removal of that obstacle has left the plot in the luch. Sort of like having the worlds most powerful military force but being to afraid to use it for fear of the political backlash.The good guys have the weapon they need, time to let them use it!
