in a way, there is a lot of destiny and prophecy around there. But the super special magic people are cursed, men get magical madness, women must endure politics.
The first book manages to never have a woman POV. The second book starts right after EverythingWasFine, turns out nothing was fine actually. Didn't really got into it.
Yup, I was annoyed at a lot of little things, the protagonists are all a different type of idiot, but there were more things that kept me interested enough to keep on reading. And you need to really like reading since this is a marathon.
Not all of them no, it really starts to pick up speed by the third book but he kinda loses the plot at the end but manages to rally in his last book, Brando Sando then does an ok job wrapping it all up.
I feel like they codified "Plot Armor" with the idea of being Ta'varn. Sort of like how Elden Ring explains the respawn mechanic by saying you're Tarnished. But it wasn't Special in a "you're from a better bloodline". More a materialistic special, in so far as you're in the right place at the right moment to shape history.
Also, plenty of non-Special heroes in WoT. The book was overflowing with characters to the point where you had a twenty page index of names by the end.
Wheel of Time, right?

Are they actually worth reading? The Eye Of The World is probably one of the worst fantasy novels of all time.
