I'd say to give it a chance past the prologue. While the Wheel of Time, as a whole, has a lot flaws, there are parts of it that are incredible. Once Jordan got in his groove (probably books 2-6), he wrote some damn fine fantasy. Not saying you'll like it, but there is a reason why it's one of the most popular fantasy works ever.
