re: Sci-Fi/Fantasy Recommendation & Discussion Thread

To my disappointment, I gave up on the Wheel of Time series. I'll get downvotes but I just wasn't a fan. Like, at all. I finished the 2nd book, and according to some of yall, it is one of the better of the series. I figured if it was a pain to get through that one and basically became a sleeping pill for me at night, I wouldn't be able to finish the series.

I just dont like his writing style and I really just didnt grow to really like any of the characters. I mean some of them were ok, but none of them made me really care about what happened to them. Rand could have gotten his chopped off at the end of book two and I wouldnt have cared.

Plus, I am a dialog fan. There just wasnt enough dialof for me. Way too much writing on useless stuff. Someone would walk in a room and he'd spend a whole page describing the room that they were in for 5 minutes that played absolutely no role in the story. Or the endless amount of mind wondering/thoughts of certain characters. I mean that stuff adds up to pages upon pages of absolutely useless material that adds absolutely nothing at all to the story.

End of rant. Just wanted to say why I didnt like it

Halfway through the 1st book of the Gentleman Bastard series. Really liking it so far.
