I’m on my 4th read through of the wheel of time

Do you actually read all the way through? I'm not sure I could take reading that much of Faile again. She made me nearly write off Perrin because of how much time he spent on her.

First read started in 2003 and went til 2007 when Jordan died ending on book 11.

Waited for Sanderson to finish it. Started again from book 1 in 2011ish, finished it all by 2014/2015... While doing my M.Sc lol.

Started it again in 2020? Got almost all the way though book 9 and set it down.

Picked up Malazan Book of the fallen on audio books and got 75% book 8 and couldn't hack it - too abstract, to wide and long of arcs for shitty characters I didn't care for.

Now I am starting the wheel again. I'm going to skim book 9/10 for relevant parts this time around fully skip the hunt for that dumb bitch

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Totally agree about Malazan. Except book 5, "Midnight Tides". That one was the bomb, and should have been the only Malazan book.

Honestly, I like the first few. They were great. Memories of Ice (book 3?) was possibly the best one.

I just find it tried to cover too much and because of this the story is scattershot. I get that this part of his style but still, I don't give two shits about Nenander Gullet or Clip, yet I have nearly a full book dedicated to them.

Well not all Warders, Gawyn had as many layers as graphene.

"Waaahhh....Egwene... Just let me love you!"

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Egwene: Spray bottle I'm a little fucking busy leading a revolt and preparing the world for last battle - piss off.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hahaha! Indeed. I had much higher hopes for that character than a whiny simp. Stupid Ta'veren Egwene.

Hey, untreated TBI after getting bonked by Matt will do that to you.

I mean, it makes sense. Jordan did say that nearly all the Aes Sedai and accepted went to check on Gallad. Who's to say they didn't get to Gawyn on time, or at all?

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean...I guess. Lol
