Does Sanderson continue Jordan's obsession with spanking into the next books? I'm so tired of it, it's so ridiculous that every character is constantly thinking about receiving or administering spankings and the number of times it does actually occur. It's not a specific to one character, it's Jordan and I have so much less respect for him and his work because of it. Lame.

Yeah, there are a number of things about Jordan's writing that got old quickly, but spanking is hardly high on that list for me. What about Nynaeve tugging her braid? Or the explanation that saidar is the female half of the One Power and saidin is the male half? Or what about the constant changing of dresses in Tel'aran'rhiod? Or even that the Domani wear revealing dresses to enhance their large bosoms? Yeah, I wouldn't put spanking that high up on the list personally.(less)

I give up :/ I read so far and gave it 5 star rating because the first couple books were amazing. Now I'm just reading it for the sake of it. I started reading the book's for Rand, but now he barely even had 100 page's to him. What's happening is like 4 separate stories 200 pages each, and I just don't care about most of these characters, so i end up skimming 200 pages. does it get better?

In addition, with change of author comes change of writing style, and I would survive it. But what really disgusted me is blatant sexism of that author (do not think that his name is worth mentioning). An Ais Sedai ENVIES her warder because he is calm and physically strong?! Like a woman is incapable of keep her cool? And why on the Earth somebody with access to One Power will be jealous of physical strength? My, I bet the guy fancies himself as logical, just because he is a man.(less)
