Bud, the foreshadowing isn't exactly subtle in the first book. Mat being garbage is what stops me from enjoying other characters. 5 books with a centerpiece character I can't stand is too many. Everything else about the book isn't bad, if a little derivative. It's just that I can't stand how actively shit Mat is with every decision and having the temerity to bitch about the consequences of his own fucking actions.
