I think it was mostly his prologue's that annoyed me. Having to wade through 100+ pages about a side-character just to get to the story got on my nerves with some of the books.

And, was it Knife of Dreams that Rand doesn't appear for like 500 pages into the book?

Oh, and, your thoughts on RJ's borrowing from classical mythology? He certainly did a lot of it. I'm jaded enough to get annoyed by it now, but I thought it was cool back when I first read the books. (And by this I mean stuff like King Arthur references, the Celtic mythology stuff, sword-in-the-Stone, and so on).

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers.
