The Wheel of Time: Robert Jordan
I have previously read the first four books including A New Spring and really enjoyed them, so now that there is an end to the series, I thought that I would start again form the beginning. I've just finished the Eye of the World and still enjoyed it the second time around.
Has anyone finished the series and what are their thoughts, without any plot spoiler please.

Alas for whatever reason Jordan prolonged the series and expanded the lore and history to points i felt were bordering on ridiculousness and i grew to seriously dislike the series. Especially the books where minor political characters were in essence the entire focus of not one but a series of books.
But in the end i found Brian Sanderson did a great job wrapping up the series. I just wish that someone would come out with an edited or rewritten version of this series so i could recommend it to someone or reread it myself.

I completely understand your feelings here. I really enjoyed this series, it took me a few tries to get into it as i felt the intro dragged a bit, and i did struggle some in the middle books. I thought the whole issue with Rand trying to figure out which of the issues to take care of first while in Tear was drawn out much longer then it needed to be. Especially since one of the issues was rebels in a marsh, a marsh that served no function for the country and which he easily had the power to burn to the ground and solve the issue of them hiding instantly. It picks back up in the last 3 or 4 books and remains to this day one of my favorite series overall.Lysander99 wrote: ↑09 Feb 2018, 18:37 Alas for whatever reason Jordan prolonged the series and expanded the lore and history to points i felt were bordering on ridiculousness and i grew to seriously dislike the series.

Slightly off-topic, I did enjoy Jordan's Conan stories. Some of the best post-Howard ones written, capturing the same feel as the originals.
