I am on the second book "The Great Hunt" of The Wheel of Time series.
love that book! im on book 3 now
How are you liking book 3. Is the pace keeping up in that one?
I stopped on that book. It just wasn't as good as the hype. I do plan on getting back to it at some point. I mean, millions of people can't be wrong, can they?
Luckily I haven't had too much of a preconception of the books. I picked them up because they had really good reviews and the series was finished unlike game of thrones. I have read all of the game of thrones books but I have no hope that that series will ever be finished.
How are you liking them so far? I kinda want to read those but Ive heard there are some suuuuper long and dry parts in the series that scare me away. Considering the size of that series a "small" dry patch could be like 4 books long lol
I've tried to read the series twice over the years. Both times I got to about book 6 or 7 and just ended up hating all the characters, the writer, the world, etc. so I just stop. And I rarely stop a series once I start. That said, the first few books are pretty good and I say give them a try! I'm not who you asked, for what that's worth.
I have been enjoying them so far! However, I've heard the same that they do get a little dry in the middle. I'm going to do my best to power through it all though.
