i read them 10 years ago
(then 4 or 5 when the one before last came out). I really want to reread them, but I've only got Storm of Swords...Then there's the problem that people will think I'm only reading them because of the series. Man, I'm such a book snob

Yeah
I can't remember enough about them and the last one just came out after years and years of waiting. Perhaps that's the thing I'll go tomorrow

The new one came out on tuesday
although I had something similar with the Wheel of Time books when the most recent one came out - four bastarding months it took me to re-read the first 11, because I had no idea what was going on.

yeah, but weren't they shit?
(not that I read them, I just borrowed other peoples' opinions)

Wheel of Time?
nonono. The first three were excellent, 4-6 good, 7-10 tailed off significantly, but then the guy died and the new author hired to finish the series moves at a much faster pace and the newer ones are much, much better.

Are you thinking of the Shannara books? 'Cause they were pants in my opinion.

I didn't read those either
I have a surprisingly patchy knowledge of fantasy for a larper
