Quite interesting...I haven't gotten to far int it but I am liking it so far, especially since the trolloc attack, now it is getting really interesting. | ||

Absolutely love this series. Epic fantasy as its best IMO. I tried reading it about 9 years ago, book 2 to 4 were epic but it slowed down a lot around book 5 and I lost interest. Gonna try persevere to the end this time though since the series is almost concluded, but the first 4 books have been even better for me on 2nd read-through. The 1st book feels very similar to LOTR at first, but at the end of the 1st book is where the series starts to become its own, and in the 2nd book it really takes off. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Rand has a fight with one of the Forsaken in Shadar Logoth Very well written series of books, but it can be incredibly long-winded. Was thinking of re-reading them and maybe finishing the series, since I read them when I was like 13 or 14. also, + Show Spoiler + I remember a scene where the Aiel take Rand hostage for period of time and the Black Tower finally frees him in a badass fight. | ||

While it's always sad when someone you know of dies, I think the series would never have finished if Jordan had livet ... he just kept dragging it on and on and on and on and on and ... yeah. | ||

To be fair the "last book" Sanderson was supposed to write turned into a trilogy :S , not so sure it made a big difference... I like Sanderson, but I wish Jordan could have finished it, and also for his family I am sure it would be better too... | ||

Also wish Jordan couldve finished it, and cant help feeling that Sanderson made the last book into a trilogy for profit reasons rather than story, but hey. I wish hed hurry up and finish it though! Also agree with the statement that books 8, 9, 10 etc for me did drag on abit, were not so interesting etc, but as a whole i still absolutely love this series. Also the last books that Sanderson has written really do read (to me at least) asif its still Jordan, so well done to him. | ||

The choice to make the last book a trilogy had already been considered and discussed by Mr. Jordan in private conversations with his wife and TOR. Sanderson had no part in that decision. Basically, he's just there for the day to day choices on wording, syntax, and style. | ||
