Comment on Amazon has canceled its Wheel of Time series
Frozengyro@lemmy.world 16 hours agoI just finished the series last week after starting it in January 2024. It’s a pretty damn good epic. Yes there are slower parts, but on the whole it’s very enjoyable and well paced. Not sure what you’d expect from a 14 book series. You’re also full of it if you say the 12000 page series is terrible, yet you also reread it last year. That is nonsensical to put that much time and effort into something that’s ‘pretty terrible’.
I was a big fan as a child, but I haven’t re-read them in about 15 years or so, since Sanderson finished it. Whenever that was.
It’s not at all well paced. That’s some fandom cope if I’ve ever heard it, good lord.
I can tell you 100% that I don’t plan on reading it again. It’s not worth it.

WoT is not “Well paced”. It’s egregiously slow and long winded. Robert Jordan should have been beaten with a chair for the bullshit he put his readers through.

It’s a 14 book epic, that pretty much comes with the territory. You get the details, world building, character’s nuance, etc. it’s not all moving the plot forward.

It would have lost nothing if it were trimmed to 7 books. It’s only 14 because no one smacked the author with a ruler.
