Argh, I'm a Wheel of Time fan even though Robert Jordan was a raging misogynist. I should probably seek help. Amazon reviews kinda provide me with free group therapy, though. Everybody agrees the story is great but the characters, especially the women, are just insufferable.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social @futurebird@sauropods.win And to be fair, it's not the story that is great. It is the world building -imho - the plot drags terribly at many points in the series and relies heavily on implausible crises.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social @futurebird@sauropods.win idk about "everybody agrees" because I think that in WoT especially the men are just insufferable, while I really liked the female characters most of the time (when they weren't busy doing their fair share of nonsense too).
