For those here who read deep into the series and never finished - you've made a HUGE mistake!

At some points near the middle of the series, Jordan became pretty long-winded and started spinning wheels, but after his death and subsequent take-over of the last three books by Brandon Sanderson, there is no series with a better closing sequence. The end of the Wheel of Time stands out to me as one of the best climaxes to any story ever, making WoT my favorite story, hands down.

I am almost finished with the first book in this series and I am really enjoying it! The characters are so well developed, along with the plot and fictional world.

When I was introduced to this book, it was really hard for me to get into it. It felt slow and a bit confusing. Once I pushed through and got halfway through the book I couldn't stop! Do not give up on a book if it is hard to get through the first few chapters. Once you get your bearings with setting and characters the whole feel of the story can change to a magical experience. I have read the entire series several times and is my all time favorite epic fantasy series.

So... I assume it is worth spending time to get into the series and read those books. I'd really like to know before I invest all that time into them.
