" To be honest with you, for about the past . . . oh, seven books in this series, the only characters worth reading about were Perrin and Mat, Rand's two (former) best friends. Perrin stopped being interesting at about the same time he got married, so for about three or four books now, Mat has been the only interesting character. Thankfully, now that things are actually happening, now that Rand is moving on from his annoying phase, the books are picking up and I am actually looking forward to the last one! "
