>Should I read Wheel of Time if I'm enjoying ASOIAF
Wheel of Time is like, halfway between GRRM and Tolkien in terms of mood.
With Tolkien, everything's pretty binary. There's the good guys, the bad guys, and one or two duplicitious characters.
With Martin, there's two or three moral upstanding persons, and a whole bunch of shitbags even among the heroes.
Jordan has the handful of good guys that try dearly to keep the bodycount low, a fair share of outright evil bastards, and plenty of grey in the middle.
Due to the sheer fucking volume, any pic related moments are far apart, though they exist.
I'm in book 11, and I'm still waiting for Perrin to stop fretting over everything and just go apeshit on something he doesn't have to worry about.
But before where I'm at now, the last really stirring moment was when Nyneve was spreading word about Lan riding to the Last Battle so he could have an army behind him.
