She's not a priestess, either. Other than "red-haired priestess" the rest was 100% valid.

The Goodkind review was particularly scathing, which is good, and the Martin review was complimentary, which is in line with what most people think about his merits.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Pretty sure Nynaeve did not have red hair. Also pretty sure she wasn't a priestess.

I think it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to an archetype, but yes, there are some errors here

Don't you think that, if that were corrected, the entries would be pretty much valid?

Agree for the most part. When does the book officially come out?

Point taken. Despite not being the target audience, I'd still like to take a look at it.

Influenced isn't the same as 'like'.

I think fionwe has a point - it's not some kind of literature/non-literature divide.

Actually, aSoIaF has one of the more accurate depictions of feudalism in modern fantasy. *NM*
