Yeah. On one hand, kind of a petty, on the other hand, it does come up more than you might think is reasonable. But I do think it's literally just a legitimate character trait, and the author uses it to show her having a bad poker face in narratively effective fashion at times.
I have some litt fan friends and their taste is similar to mine. Most of them turn their nose at fantasy (I cant say I dont either) but one really liked fantasy. He told me, "WoT is a good fantasy read, but GoT is just good period." I was suspect and he gave me his copy years before the HBO series. Sat on my shelf until I finally read it. It was really good. I'd give WoT a spin but way too many books to commit to. Especially, with all the mixed reviews on it. Not to say all of Martin's books in GoT series were great either (they weren't), just fewer to read.
The Eye of the World has a beginning, middle, and an end: my usual recommendation is to give the first book a try, because by the end you will either love or hate Jordan's prose style, and can either go all in or stop Sat a conve isn't point.

Sounds like She was more into the Picard maneuver than the braid tug.Some people crunched the numbers, apparently:
How Many Times Does Braid-Tugging and Skirt-Smoothing Happen in The Wheel of Time?
You’re a few books into Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time epic fantasy series and then you realize… the characters in this series tug their hair braids a lot. More than seems particul…
Really what it is is that Jordan makes significsnt use of non-verbal communication throughout the books, which is admittedly not thst usual for writers to do most of the time.
Yeah, im guessing the shear number of books makes it feel like reading a meme too.
It can, for sure: but that's how we actually are, as people, very often. Slipping into autosteretype and catchphrases.
I liked the first book, but that wasn't enough to keep going. He, like Martin, needed an editor very badly. I stopped in book 4 or 5, as TO ME, it seemed nothing was happening at all. To me it was just the same scenes/story over and over. That said, I remember almost nothing from the books, so who knows, I could be wrong....
