The Wheel of Time PoV-problem
honestly op, if you think wot is ‘needlessly complex’ 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 doesn’t really see the appeal in mat, i find your opinion hugely subjective, but obvs YMMV)
Oh wow, I’ve never even heard of you before so I must’ve really gotten the tags right.
But, dude, this has nothing to do with “other fantasy books do the same thing“ or “if you don’t like it, read something else“.
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 wouldn’t believe).
That’s 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 aren’t actually given any screentime.
And I feel like that’s kind of problematic, you know?
