I read the The Wheel of Time and thought they were great. I read the series straight through. I felt that 8-10 dragged a bit however book 11 (the last Jordan one) and 12-14 by Sanderson really picked things back up. Overall I would definitely recommend the series.

I also read the Malazan books straight through just recently. It was a very good series but can definitely be confusing. (books 1 and 2 each introduce totally different sets of characters, book 5 is a prequel) It is also much darker and depressing at many points. Good world building and multiple magics as opposed to Jordan's one magic system. Lots of interfering gods as opposed to Jordan's one big baddie.

Haven't read GRRM because the series isn't finished...or even near finished. I am happy getting this story through HBO. Can't comment on the others either.
