Wheel of Time book 12: A Memory of Light

<< < (2/12) > >>

MusicScribbles:
In a way I would almost consider this series pulp fantasy.
In the end I could care less about where the books lead because I want to read the end.
When Robert Jordan was alive I was more excited because his writing is what made the series enjoyable.
In the end of each book I cared less about how far the story had gone and more about how much fun the books were to read, which is what I read them for in the first place. Draggin plot didn't afflict me throughout these books because I guess that the evolution felt right for a decades long project anyway. I don't read the Wheel of Time for posterity, but for my cliche, high-fantasy appetite. The enjoyment garnered from each book was enough to warrant the reading of the next, and I was never disappointed. Jordan delivered. The end of this series will be sad because I won't get another chance to visit this world with a new story. In essence this has already happened, even if I have faith in the writer taking over, he isn't Robert Jordan.
I'm still interested in how the story will be written now though because I've never heard of this man or his work.

I am of the same mind, i have a craving for all obnoxiously long plot lines/story lines so i can stay entrenched in one world for as long as possible, with wheel of time you can just read and read and read. I did much the same with Raymond Feist series.

Vancroth:
Well, I do remember loving it when I read it, but I just can't remember what happened because my books fell apart so that I couldn't reread them.  So far I haven't gotten around to purchasing new copies.

Also quoting the post above you is frowned upon.

DavidGrohl:
 I'm just glad we'll have a conclusion.  Anyone have any other similar book series for me to read?  Already finished with what's written of A Song of Ice and Fire.
