Ignimbrite Yeah I'd say it definitely darkens up, so I'd keep at it without a doubt. Rand has a pretty cool arc throughout the series imo. April 19 11:52 AM
Ignimbrite (LAST THING) When I praised the ending of WoT book 5 I meant book 6, although 5 is also fantastic. April 19 01:15 AM
Ignimbrite [apologies for the spam, swear this is the last part] To sum this up, my opinion is that both series are absolutely worth finishing, but you should take my opinion with a grain of salt because A) I had already partially or fully fallen for both series at this point, and B) I read both series at points in my life where I had enough free time to obliterate a book every 3-5 days.

Ignimbrite WHEEL OF TIME: I ****ing loved the series. The first 2-3 books were definitely a bit tropey, but you gotta realize that they feel tropey partially because they so profoundly influenced so many following books. I was fully hooked by book 3 or 4 (also, book 5 has what might be the most intense climax of any fantasy book I can remember). April 19 01:05 AM
Ignimbrite WoT recommendation forthcoming as soon as this s***show of a ballgame finishes (or when it ends me, whichever comes first) April 19 12:58 AM
