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.

I may just not have read enough of the genre, but I really don't find any slower than other huge series. While not every viewpoints was my favorite, I very rarely ever felt my time was being wasted (Book 10 being the big culprit of that imo).
