Should I start reading the Wheel of Time book series? It seems daunting

It is a bit of a slog. Sanderson only wrote the last 2 (3?). Still it’s pretty good if you’re an epic type fantasy fan.

2nd best series ever written. Right after the Stormlight Archives and right before Lord of the Rings

books 4-8 are a little slow at times. Book 1 is amazing all by itself, so go ahead and read that to see.

This. First few books are great. Middle books are a bit tough to get through, but ends well. It’s a commitment.

I think 4-6 are my favorites of the series. Two words, Dumai's Wells

Malazan Book of the Fallen is my favorite series, but I realize it's not for everyone.

I loved that series.

No touching

By far the deepest and meatiest series I've ever read.

Nailed it. I couldn't stop reading because the writing was so good, even when I didn't know what was going on.

So true

Nope and now I have a new quest! I'm on it!

It's fantastic. Not sure where I would rank it though. Maybe even with WoT.

Over 206 hours according to audible for the first 4 books. TEN planned!

Whoops - that is for Stormlight. Still...

Oh man. They are so hard to get through. I am on Book 8 and it is tough to pick up again. His writing is so

I'm sorry but you're at the worst point of the series,

LevZloi

10/25/21 4:00pm

Absolutely true, but it does get much better.

I love the fist six books, then it slows down

I fought my way through Elantris. Knew what was going to happen about 400 pages before it happened. There were

You will cherish every page of that "slog" 😉

LevZloi

Also remember that Elantris was his first published novel

Way of Kings has the best payoff in any book I've ever read.

It starts off books 1-5 as the greatest epic fantasy or sci Fi of all time

10/25/21 3:58pm

Condensed down would make it the greatest possibly

I read the fist book in 1 day in 1990 as a little kid

Personally, I would not recommend it.

You can also easily finish the first book before the season drops on Amazon.

If you like Sanderson's Books you'd like them. Just read the first one and then

I didn't like it; the books take a very long time to get where they're going
