Agreed, and this is such a significant trait for a good storyteller, in my opinion. I've enjoyed much of the WOT series, but Jordan wallows in the details of each plot, major and secondary, and introduces so many characters you almost want to groan out loud when a new one starts off a chapter. On the flip side, Martin advances the plot on multiple fronts, and then has the principal characters reflect on other events that have happened as their plot line continues from their chapter perspective.
