Martin is the strongest of the 3, Goodkind is...well, mentioned, which is about as much as he deserves, and Jordan is characterised as fun fluff.

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

Nynaeve doesn't have red hair! She has brown hair!

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

I mentioned her not being a priestess in my earlier post.

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

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*
