I may say that x wot character is my favorite, but what that actually means is I have like five favorite characters in the wheel of time who all jockey for position moment to moment. It’s usually Nynaeve or Mat or Aviendha, but then sometimes it’s actually Rand or Egwene. And all the other characters also often make honorary mention appearances.

What makes the wheel of time unbeatable as a series is truly just how delightfully good the ensemble cast is.
