Compare and contrast

I want to write a compare-and-contrast essay about the following three serieses:

• The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (I have read through “A Feast for Crows”), Wikipedia
• A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin (I have read through “Knife of Dreams”), Wikipedia
• The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind (I have read all but the prequel, and don’t care if that’s spoiled for me), Wikipedia

I shall start said essay here, and who knows if I'll ever finish it. All three are considered epic fantasy serieses, and yet they are VERY different from each other. I have listed them in order of how much I like them, most to least. As mentioned above, I have not yet finished either the Wheel of Time or A Song of Ice and Fire and would appreciate an attempt to reduce spoilers for those I haven’t read (though I won’t get too upset at accidental spoilers since they’ve been out for forever). I cannot promise either this post or the comments will be spoiler-free; if you wish to reduce spoilers in responses to your own comments, I recommend specifying what you’ve read through in your comment. Oh, and please forgive any misspellings of characters’ names or places, I’ve read most of these in audiobook format. Feel free to correct me.

( Cut for length )

So yeah. This isn’t a real essay so I don’t need a real conclusion.  :)  Go read The Wheel of Time if you haven't already.
