Much more like Lord of the Rings, in fact as other posts here have noted, the first half of Eye of the World is very much an homage/spin on LOTR. And really the only part that is similar to SoIaF is that by the second WoT book you get multiple story lines from different characters perspectives, and many moving pieces across the WoT world. The violence, sex, and cynical world-view is nowhere near SoIaF-levels, either. I find Jordan's writing to be better than Martin's, too. And most importantly, while I'm only on the 5th book right now, I enjoy that every book has a climactic scene that is built up from the beginning and ACTUALLY HAPPENS in that book (as opposed to SoIaF's much maligned never-ending and never-happening impending doom). Edit - and I agree with the above poster, the characters get fleshed out over the course of the books. Xenochrist fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Jan 12, 2014 |
