      Whoops! I just deleted my original reply because I thought I was replying to another conversation I’m having about Jordan and Terry Goodkind.

      The author I’m referring to is Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series. The warrior culture that Kvoth goes to live & train with in the 2nd book seem to be almost a direct copy of Robert Jordan’s Aeil from the Wheel of Time series. That said, Jordan inspired a lot of writers, including Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson was able to finish Jordan’s epic 14 book story, when Jordan’s health started failing and he reached out to Sanderson to take over the project. Sanderson wrote (I think) the last 2.5 books in the series.

      Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series. The idea of females dominating male casters comes from Jordan, as do the crusader guys that chased down casters, those are Jordan’s Whitecloaks (Children of the Light). There were a lot more ideas that seemed to have direct correlations, but I can’t remember them now. The Whitecloaks were the most glaring copies though.
