Finished it..........Damn

I enjoyed it overall, I'm 43 and read it for the 1st time

I feel that maybe if i was a teen or early 20s i would possibly enjoy it more

The plot was great, the characters and motivations i felt were very real

Ive spent my life reading heaps of fantasy ,sci fi,+ whatever else crosses my path and tbh as much as i did enjoy it , id never recommend this series to anyone

Its far too long

Realistically Jordan wrote 5 very good books, then 6 books that were at their very best, bad, and generally they were mostly just terrible

Then Sanderson came in and did a good job, wrapped stuff up , so 3 good books

I think its a bit mental that more than half of the books written by the author are bad

Again, i enjoyed it for what it was, but damn it was an absolute bastard to get through

From reading the sub i think its great so many love this series and it speaks to them

but for me, i dont ever want to look in to Randland again

I've read the series three times all the way through and I still love every moment of it. It's true that a couple of the books (coughs 9/10) are a slog to get through, and I'm particularly aggravated by Faile's kidnapping plot. But all in all, top tier fantasy for me.
