I ended up skimming through a fair amount of the gentle moves, long days lounging, and the like. I enjoyed the overall story but the pacng was a bit slow at times.
Most of the longer series could very easily be shortened. There is no reason for Martin's Fire and Ice series to be as long as it is or Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Both seem to enjoy the noteriety and money that the extra books bring. In reality, it is not necessary and is kind of annoying.
I am glad that I came to Wheel of Time at the end of the series. I will have waited for the last three books to be published and Sanderson seems to be hitting his schedule regularly enough. I am hoping that he is able to hit his schedule for his own Stormlight Archive series. The first book was really good. The second book is suppose to be released in late 2012/early 2013. I know he is finishing the Wheel of Time Series and I imagine that is delaying things.
While the Dresden series is far too lengthy, Butcher is really good about meeting his deadlines and I can count on his work coming out. That is nice.
