How far are you in WOT?

[LevenThumps]

How far is everyone in the Wheel of Time series. You can spam and eat tainted brownies to your heart's content, but please don't post spoilers since somebody else may not be as far as you.

[LevenThumps]

I hate to say it, but I haven't fully caught up on the series. I just started reading it and am on Book 7. I WILL finish all 13 before A memory of Light comes out. This series is the best.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

still trying to get through ToM and not making any progress.

[mcs0083]

I'm just waiting on AMoL. Too lazy to do a re-read lol

[Niniel]

I have no idea how many times I have read them. I will surely read some of it again before amol.

[Guest PiotrekS]

I've read them all. I sometimes re-read my fauvorite scenes.

 

The book I most often go back to is The Shadow Rising.

 

The book I wasn't able to read more than once was TGS.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

that one was rough.

[Guest PiotrekS]

I think ToM is better. Still a long way to go, but better.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

yeah people say that. eotw will always be my favorite. the first half of the series is like a different author from the second half to me.

 

but... no spoilers

I think Sanderson will do justice with AMoL. Considering that it is the real meat and potatoes of what RJ left behind, and that he's a half decent writer, I don't think that there's much he could do to screw it up.

I've read them all. The last 2 only once each, but I've read the others probably 4 or 5 times each. Going to do another full re-read before AMOL, too.

[paetric]

I know I shouldn't find it odd that people are new to the series, but I do.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

lol

[Guest PiotrekS]

My fauvorite is tSR, but I absolutely agree about the second half of the series.

 

 

with the exception of Mat

 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

yeah the lol was for mcs's post, got double ninjaed

[mcs0083]

I have a knack at getting that :P

[Turin Turambar]

I've read them all several times. I really enjoy many of the scenes. I do think that EotW is my favorite book of the series.

That's a big book too.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

the one that took me longest to get through... next to ToM.... was CoT.... don't know how long it actually was, but it was almost forever for me.

[paetric]

I hate to say it, but I haven't fully caught up on the series. I just started reading it and am on Book 7. I WILL finish all 13 before A memory of Light comes out. This series is the best.

 

For me book 7 - 11 are just horrible.

EOTW to me is good except for the ending. I still get the feeling every time I read it that EOTW was book 1 of a trilogy.

 

I think Sanderson will do justice with AMoL. Considering that it is the real meat and potatoes of what RJ left behind, and that he's a half decent writer, I don't think that there's much he could do to screw it up.

 

That's waht scares me the most though. How much of what Sanderson will use is like the drivel that RJ put out in the end?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i think it was ssupposed to be one of a trilogy and someone decided to... milk the cow. which was fine for a while, but someone shoulda known when to stop.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i'd be really surprised if those "notes" really exist. i think it will be his own... work. or the editors.

 

which... might actually have been the problem for a while.

 

so i guess it could be the same... yeah.

[Niniel]

It has to be great. I want all answers. Recently I read the chapters that involves Rand. It will be exiting to see how he will make it in the end.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i'm kind of emotionally divorced from the whole thing.

 

it's taken too long.

 

it's probably different for people who just pick up the series as a nearly done deal.

 

i've waited a long time for something less and less worth the wait.

I got attached to some of the characters and like sometimes to get back to them.

 

But I'm not overly excited about the ending. The greatness of the book or series does not really lie in the ending, so whatever was the best in WOT has probably already happened.

 

And Ms E. has ruined a large part of late books for me

 

 

Although I hope the Aiel will be alright and won't go back to the bloody Way of the Leaf. And I would like to see Rand, Aviendha, Nynaeve and Siuan get the happiness they deserve
