    While a good series without a doubt, it suffers from the tradition of each book being about “100 pages too long” and in need of editing. It would be interesting to see if a newer LLM could do that in a way that would make it a tighter story.

        Meh. WoT is my favorite overall series but there are probably entire books worth of material that can be dropped. I bet a competent editor could tell the story in 7-10 books without really changing anything.

        Do we seriously need to spend 15 chapters watching Perrin formulate a plan to save Faile, again?

        Ebou Dar was really cool. I didn’t need to spend four books there.
