Despite getting better and better with each season, Prime Video ultimately cancelled The Wheel of Time — and we're still angry over it.

Not only is it not better written, it's notorious for literally stealing things from The Wheel of Time straight up. It's some of the most blatant plagiarism I've ever seen in my life.

Also I refuse to believe you didn't pick up on the libertarianism. He literally dedicated one of the books to Ayn Rand. The Sword of Truth is the worst book series I've ever read my life.

    I don't disagree. I read SoT first and am aware it was written after WoT. That sucks but I had a hard time getting through WoT due to the writing style.

    I listened to the audiobooks, mostly while driving. They don't read who it was dedicated to, IIRC. I'll have to check that out. I did pick up on some general philosophy that I disagree with on more than a few of the books, but it's fantasy, it didn't really bother me.

    I also listened to WoT audiobooks, and the narrator makes a huge difference. In SoT they had this narrator, Sam Tsoutsouvas, who is just incredible.
