Starting something you couldn't finishFinnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

Well writtenI was similar to the OP until about book 8, when I realised that RJ had developed an unfortunate habit of going on for pages about some minor protagonist's fucking buttons, and all I wanted was for the main man to make people's heads explode and to learn some new sword animal.
I never got to book 12, and feel a better man for it. RJ helped crystallise the concept that the time spent compulsively consuming crap could most likely be better occupied doing nearly anything else.
Incidentally, for mythical/heroic fantasy you can't go past the Winter of the World series by Michael Scott Rohan.
