Problem with The Wheel of Time

[Mark of Cenla]

The other Wheel of Time thread is very long, so I decided to put this issue in a new one.

I have been an avid reader for over thirty years. I have read all the Lord of the Rings many times, all the Shannara books, all the Eddings books (some of them twice), and the first three Thomas Covenant books. So I began reading the Wheel of Time series. I am now reading The Lord of Chaos (book six).


THERE ARE TOO MANY FRIGGIN CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!

I found a site that has all the characters listed with short bios up through book four. The are 484 of them!


I am a pretty smart guy, but I simply cannot remember who all of these characters are. The indexes in the books themselves are a joke. So sometimes I just keep reading, having no idea what is going on.

Does anyone else have a problem with this?
