Yeah. BTW, maybe I'm wrong but I can perceive a lot of LOTR influences in the first two books.
There are definitely similarities, I agree. The setting out on a quest, multiple important characters but one that has the most important task, Rand shows some similarity to Frodo in their background, and a dark lord that's wants to wreath the world in shadow. But then, it must be hard for a fantasy writer to not be influenced by Tolkien.
