The Shadow Rising

It's the fourth in this big fat Turkey leg of a fantasy series. I'll keep listening to em (40 hours gets my money's worth from that there Audible)

Cool stuff in the Wheel of Time:

- The way magic works (sort of dangerously pull from the essence of the Earth)
- varied cultures
- hangout-style pacing
- main characters are compelling
- the character Perrin

Bad Stuff in the Wheel of Time:

- prudish
- villains feels a big mustache-whirly and “disposable-henchmany”
- the female characters are very much written by a man. it's not always awful but it's not not always awful
