    Wheel of time is one series I wanted to like but just couldn’t get through after a certain point.

    Like the author wasn’t quite sure where he wanted to go so just didn’t go anywhere at all for a long time…

      I was told books 1-4 and then the last few were amazing. I wasn’t enraptured by the first few, so I put it down as well. I didn’t want to slog through 5 more books in the hopes I’d potentially enjoy 4 more.

        Sounds about right, I think I got too bored to continue on 5. I seem to recall 4 was a bit slow too but it just dropped right off after.

        Life is too short for a slog.

        The last three because Brandon Sanderson wrote them?

            “I was told … the last few were amazing”

            Because the writer changed?

              Oh, they didn’t elaborate on why they liked the last few, only that they did.

      Só did I. Two stars for book one, couldn’t even rate book 2, DNF book 3 and never touched it again. It actually made me second guess other books. “If you like TWoT you’ll love X” always make me think twice about reading something
