The big problem with the WOT, IMPO, was the author was married to the editor which basically meant that he didn't have an editor. There were whole books where the plot line was never advanced. IMPO, the first book was one of the best fantasy books I've read and the second one was almost as good, but then it started drifting off in long side stories that could have/should have been cut. The last three books were actually pretty tight and well edited, but by then, there were so many loose threads that had to be tied up, that it took three books to bring it all back together.
