  2. tell me why everyone puts wheel of of time so low I have it as the #1 fantasy series just because it hasn't got cursing sex and alot of gore people think its dull and the length of the series people hate how long it is in my opinion the fact that The Wheel of time hasn't got much swearing sex and gore and still makes an amazing story is what makes it # 1 and for those who complain about lenght and the amount of story threads shut up that is what makes it amazing I love the fact that its going to end with 14 books that is amazing and not only that i love all the characters People who cant keep us should just read something else and if you didn't get past book 7 or 8 re read the series through book 13 because book 12 and 13 are as good if not better than book 2 and 3 maybe not as good as book 1 but the action is kicked in overdrive the details are cut down by atleast half or more and book 12 is the the darkest book by far and thirteen is even better mat entering the tower of ghenjei if you dont know its where the aelfinn and eelfinn are at matt dose something that will shock you truly shock you. not to mention what rand dose with the asedai thats making his life unbearable.
