    The Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books. By book 7 I hated the main characters and really hated the writing style. The repetition. The repetition. The repetition…

    The Sanderson books were ok, but they couldn’t rescue the series and I got no joy from finishing it. A lot of relief though to be done with it.

      Agreed on the wheel of time. Every character has one and just one quirk and they repeat it in every occasion. Also it’s quite troubling, once you start thinking on it, this fixation on men/women relationship.

      I rage quit after book 3. I’m sorry you had to suffer so much longer.

      Read Sanderson’s own books though. They’re pretty good, IMO

        Same man. I generally thought the first book was entertaining but it was not long into book two that I was permanently annoyed and just couldn’t get even a quarter into book 3.

          So far I’ve only read Way of Kings. I found it too slow paced for me, especially the 1st half of the book. But… I’m reading Lost Metal now and will probably read Tress… and then back at it for the next Stormlight Archive
