Wheel of Time! I’m nearing the end of book three. At this pace I’ll be done with the series in about 5 years 😅
Nice Lemfriend, I am working on #2 myself. They have been really fun to read.
Still my favorite series by a mile. I grew up with the series, and would reread the whole series before a new one was released. I was crushed when Robert Jordan died because I thought that meant the series would never be finished (and he seemed like a cool dude). I was ecstatic when they picked Brandon Sanderson to finish it, partly because he's also one of my favorite authors, but also because that dude is a machine that cranks out quality writing at an insane pace.
I just finished rereading the series for probably the 15th time a few months ago, it might be time to start again.
P.s. it's just getting started at book 3. Lord of Chaos (#6) is one of my favorites.
Its also a disappointment that we will never get the Seanchan sequel trilogy that only had one line of notes. It really is such a shame how much story telling potential is left for this world. Like we know in general of how the first four Ages go? Granted I'm not done with the series yet, but already I can tell how much will probably go unsaid.
Yeah, that was a huge disappointment. I'm just glad Robert Jordan was able to leave enough notes to complete the series at least. I remember when he made the announcement that he had a terminal illness, and was surprised at how much he focused on the readers in that announcement. Truly a loss for the whole fantasy community when he passed.
My advice is don't hesitate to just read the wiki/cliff notes on the chapters if things start dragging on for you. It's worth finishing, but some of the middle books have so little that happens.
