Wheel of Time

[Talysia]

I'm currently rereading through the series. By the time the next one comes out, I should just about be finished! (In between everything else on my ever-increasing to-be-read pile)

it is good the first few are excellent but it drops off towards the end, although book 11 is a good return to form

Thats how I feel. I was disappointed with book ten and was not sure about reading 11 when it came out....but finally I did. It seemed to have bounced back a little.

The first three I think were written to stand alone as a trilogy. he shoulda stopped there. havng said that I'm smeone who has read all of the 11 several times and enjoyed parts of all of them, they're good as sleeping tablets at times.

I really disliked Book 11, I thought it was even worse than ten. Nine is saved by the end, but eight is where things really started going wrong...

And why are 8, 9, 10 and 11 only two thirds the length of the first seven? It's incongruous, and none of them feel complete (except perhaps nine). In Book 10 only a fortnight or something passes in the story...!

Once upon a time I absolutely adored this series, for all its flaws, but I feel really let down. For better or worse, it's become a part of me now, though...
