I didn't realise they were still being written.
that's the trouble with fantasy series. I'm glad Terry Goodkind finished writing the Sword of Truth stuff before dying or something.

Not like that idiot Robert Jordan. Not that I've read any of his stuff in years and years.

The first book was published in 1996, laughably.
He takes his sweet fucking time, that's for certain.

I have never read the Wheel of Time series and I never intend to. Everybody who does says it's just not worth the effort.

it's not
Have a read of Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. It's a 13 book series (or something). Each book is pretty big. I've read it twice and it's pretty good. Tails off a bit in the middle but the first 4 or 5 are really rather good IMO.

They made a couple of seasons of a tv show, but it got cancelled for being quite crappy (bit like Hercules/Xena -not like the books). It had some frankly stunning women in it though.

That may clash with my hardback-only snobbery,
but I'll certainly have a look!

I'm the opposite
I strongly dislike hardbacks
