rameau's ramblings
A reader who’ll try anything once, including bad books in search of good ones. Eclectic as her tastes are, she tends to gravitate to historical romances, realistic contemporaries, and some fantasy novels.
That silver lining didn't last long
The author change did improve the quality of the writing in the sense of cutting down the purple in the purplest of proses. But as a downside of the improved craft, it highlights the disturbing content of the writing.
The misogynistic taint that undermines the so-called-but-not-really-powerful-after-all strong women of the series. The ridiculous premise of gender determining and distinguishing how people use and control the fantasy magic. That this is nothing but the boyz's story. The harmful allusion that insanity can be cured.
All the things I've mentioned before and conveniently forgotten.
And to add insult to injury, the White Wizard of The Wheel of Time series doesn't save herself but is saved by three men.
I hope Jordan is enjoying his reborn life as a woman who hates all things Wheel of Time.
P.S. Still shipping Mat and Birgitta.
