So Jordan has done all mankind a service by exposing his readers to our betters. Though it does raise the question of how such a pedestrian series motivated those who only read it long enough to recognize its banality to join a fansite dedicated to it.

I threw "Game of Thrones" across the room in disgust when Ned Stark betrayed his life-long dedication to honor, relinquished all his great leverage over the Lannisters and declared himself a traitor (ironically validating the charge) all for a deal anyone with a brain knew the Lannisters would never honor. I knew it then and there, but a savvy experienced player of the Game never saw it coming, and my interest in the series died with its only worthwhile character. So I immediately raced to Westeros and voiced my displeasure to my fellow ASoIaF fans, right? NO, I moved on with my life and never bothered joining that or any other such site in the first place.

Wow, you predicted a plot progression in a predictable and completely worthless series of books. - 05/09/2013 04:08:38 AM 927 Views

It is not worthless, and that particular progression was not predictable enough for anyone else. - 05/09/2013 04:34:11 AM 943 Views
