re: The Wheel of Time -- Season 2 coming in September -- Wise Ones Thread (Book Spoilers)

I rarely say this about anything, but you could *probably* get away with reading a re-cap of COT and be fine.

Essentially nothing happens at all. The Mat scenes are somewhat worth reading just for some light fun but that is it.

Man I don't see how yall make it through so many slow books. Once I finished book two and yall said there were multiple that were worse than book two I had to check out. That's too much waisted reading for me.

I think more than anything though for me was Jordans writing style, not the story. So so so much stuff written that just didn't progress the story. Their random thoughts and dreams, descriptions of rooms and clothing, the ground and sky. I was like at some point I'm hoping we can get back to the story.

I certainly get the appeal though of the story just in two books though. And I'm glad I read them just so I know how bad the TV series was in comparison. After my full Abercrombie re-read I might try book three in WoT just to see if it picks up for me.
