I'm not a fan of Jordan at all. I ignored GRR Martin's books for years because I thought it they would be overhyped meaningless fluff (which is what I felt about the Wheel of time past book 2 or so).

The story doesn't seem to go anywhere, the characters don't change a whole lot, and the descriptions of fights and such are terrible....i.e. "flowing swan defeats calm water" or whatever.

Traded them all in and I doubt I'll ever revisit them. I don't think I could tell you what happened past book 3 or so, and I've found talking with some friends, I'm not the only one.
