I don't know.. the 5th book just starts to drag for me.. right about the
time I realize that the characters haven't really grown or learned
anything from the previous 4 books. ;)
..besides, I don't care if it IS an endless cycle - I dislike Jordan's
depiction of women as people who, ingrained with the potency of magic or
not, are nothing but giggling eyelash-batting beauties.
(wow.. that sounds harsh.. I wish I had the right emoticon to smile and
not misqualify that statement)
