...what?
Just because it's impacted the genre doesn't mean it's necessarily a good thing. I mean, just replaced "wot" with "Twilight." Twilight has had an impact, but I don't think anyone here would say that was for the better.
I read the first seven books and about 100 pages of the eight before I gave up for the same reasons as most people.
Min might be my favorite character from the series. She's certainly the only female (at least that I can recall) that I'd rather fuck than kill.
Lan must have gotten some wonderful handjobs from Nynaeve with all the tugging she does (on second thought, maybe not).
I also liked how Rand became a bigger asshole the more power he got.
no, before robert jordan fantasy was somewhat different, i remember.
there weren't that many series (except the themed series like forgotten realms and dragonlance books).
you can read today every fantasy lover, you will see that many of a certain age consider wot as great.
that's the impact, not many know feist for example (today anyway).
