[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 6193826, member: 10784"] I enjoyed the next few books after the first, but I also felt the main characters went from country bumpkins to incredibly powerful rather too quickly. Book 1, they're trudging all the way across the continent over a span of weeks - a few books later, they're zipping around from nation to nation using gateways. In book 1, a single trolloc was something to be reckoned with, and a Fade was an almost legendary monster that challenged Lan and Moiraine together. Later, Rand is using the One Power to slay trollocs and fades by the 10s of thousands. That's beyond epic levels and maybe even demi-godhood. Did Hercules kill foes en masse like that? Most serious fans of the series consider book 6, Lord of Chaos, to be the best book of the series. (I'm not a serious fan - I think Eye of the World was the most enjoyable book of the series.) (BTW, has anybody statted out trollocs and fades for D&D purposes? Using 3.5E rules, I'd give trollocs 2 or 3 HD and a +4 STR bonus due to their large size.) [/QUOTE]
