i like fantasy but i could never really get into this series, i think i only made it through 5 books. to me they became repetitive very quickly and started feeling very 'villain of the month', oh theres this bad guy that rand must defeat in this book. next book, another bad guy.

and nynaeve is possibly the most annoying character i've ever seen in fiction. she NEVER stops being a *itch and by the 1000th reference to her tugging her braid in annoyance i prayed it ripped out of her head.

maybe i'm just bitter towards "epics". there is no story on earth so epic that it needs 13,14 1000 page novels to tell. from what i've read of the series its not terrible, theres simply massive, massive amounts of filler. same with a song of ice and fire and any of these cash cow series, it isn't a problem experienced only by WoT.
