The Wheel of Time PoV-problem
honestly op, if you think wot is âneedlessly complexâ bc of all the povs, then there are plenty of other fantasy series out there with a small number of povs you could read & enjoy instead. (and personally, as a huge perrin fan who doesnât really see the appeal in mat, i find your opinion hugely subjective, but obvs YMMV)
Oh wow, Iâve never even heard of you before so I mustâve really gotten the tags right.
But, dude, this has nothing to do with âother fantasy books do the same thingâ or âif you donât like it, read something elseâ.
The Wheel of Time is a huge chunk of my childhood, and for all that I could drag it for numerous reasons, I could praise it for several others (not the least of which being that it brought me into the fantasy-genre like you wouldnât believe).
Thatâs irrelevant to the point at hand, same as my somewhat uncaring dismissal of Perrin in the tags. The point is that the Wheel of Time has so many different PoVs that the MAIN CHARACTERS arenât actually given any screentime.
And I feel like thatâs kind of problematic, you know?
