I read the first 7 books of the Wheel of Time series a couple of decades ago (that's all there was) and I've never finished the series. Since I remember only some of it, I need to start over. The conversations here have inspired me to do that.

That would be the worst decision in your life. After the last one I got fed up enough to throw the trash out. Nothing happened. NOTHING! An entire book of nothing, no climax, no anything worth while. I've never read or tasted anything more bland and I wish I gave it up after the first couple of books.

I'm baffled that something this bad has gotten so popular.

I enjoyed this book. I assume it would be worthwhile to read in its native language(Spanish) Vinylone.

It gets worse. I'm on book 11, and the last 4 books can be compressed into a pamphlet. I'm viewing it as an endurance contest at this point.

You're a machine. I was ahead of you the last time this came up and now only maybe listening to book 9. I'm giving up if it's as bad as you say it is.

Lol. That's how it got with me. I kept trying to continue the story.
I believe I gave up on book 8. Everything was so predictable and "inside the box" as far as how they portrayed male characteristics and female characteristics or good guys vs bad guys.
Very vanilla
 
This thread turns around to Wheel of Time.

Jordan his weaknesses but he is a great writer, world-builder and he will remain one of my favorite authors.

I did think he built a great world. And has good ideas/concepts for his wheel of time story. It's just too bad his characters were so vanilla, predictable, and one dimensional.
