does anybody else on here read these books? i have a feeling since there is a large amount of asian people and white boys who like asian cars (myself included) on antilag there is a solid chance a few people here have read or are reading these books.
i started reading them just over 10 years ago, i remember being in year 7 and really digging it. since then i have read from book 1 - 8 (as that was the most recent at the time) stopped then read again from 1 - 6 but then i was like 17 and more into shitty commodores and being 17. since i have committed and read from 1-11, and had a break of about 3 months and am now starting book 12, the 1st of the 3 parter ending.
all i can say is, wow. great fantasy series or greatest fantasy series? i honestly would put the epicness of this series up there with lord of the rings. not taking anything away from LOTR, tolkien made a series as epic as WOT but in only 3 (and a half-ling) books.
anyway, i wont go into detail into any events without giving spoiler warnings, and no doubt some of you will probably be a book or two infront of me now.
i just marvel at the complexity of the plots, and exactly how far ahead in time some of this shit was first seeded and mentioned. max respect to robert jordan, amazing foresight. i dont remember much from life as a 12 year old, but i remember finishing eye of the world and thinking... omfg. maybe i was young, and i probably wasnt thinking ahead about what was coming, just following the story, but even the ending to that first book that just chucked the story wide open was pretty great.
i was genuinely quite sad when i heard he died, but this new guy seems to be carrying the torch from the two chapters i have read so far. i really dont want the series to end, but tbh i really want a conclusion lol.
edit - i read books, i dont write them, i apologise if my spelling is lacking, i have never been that great at it.
