Did someone say The Wheel of Time? I recently read the first two books and it seriously has me hooked. Definitely has a softer magic system similar to LotR, at least so far! I definitely recommend.
The wheel of time is the greatest fantasy series ever written and i will die on this hill
You must hate women. Those characters are often terrible in that series
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion
Because you are willing to die on that hill of the greatest series. The women in that book are not well written and most of them are kinda shit. The greatest fantasy series of all time should be better than that and you must hate women if you can ignore that to die on your hill
Can you perhaps provide an example? The vast majority of the women in WoT are strong, independent, and capable. The main female characters that start out timid or "weak" experience amazing growth over the series. Are there shitty women in the series? Yes. There are also shitty men in the series. There are over 1000 named characters throughout the series and (in my opinion) Jordan did an amazing job in the sheer diversity of types of characters portrayed.
