Severe Editing neededThe series started incredibly strongly, but by book 5 really did start to drag. I stuck with them out of pure bloody-mindedness and was apoplectic with rage when he died having just finished the penultimate book (or what was suposed to be the penultimate book). I guess that might make me a touch selfich - but I've been reading these bloody things for 20-odd years!

Brandon Sanderson has done a brilliant job of making them fun again. Everything is coming together and there are loads of big set pieces that make sense. I am convince Jordan's own end to the series would be pish in comparison.
