Quote:Get Real! I read the first 6/7 novels of the "Wheel of Time " series and, unless you are suffering and bored to death, that series is crap and Robert Jordan should be slowly tortured to death:angry:
The "Song of Ice and Fire" Stuff is huge. It may probably be even bigger than all the Elric/Arioch/Michael Moorcock stuff from way back in the 70ies
Greetings to trhe old guard
I'm not sure you can really compare the "Song of Ice and FIre" to the Moorcock stuff from the 70's. SoIaF is more of an epic tale, if you will. Moorcock's work is, in my opinion, pulp fantasy at it's finest.
Jordan's "Wheel of TIme" became way to bloated about 4 books ago. Too many characters, too many plotlines. And yet he keeps introducing new characters! I've been reduced to skimming to the chapters that deal with the characters I care about and pretty much ignoring the rest.
