Yeah, they’re great books with pretty writing, but it’s a shame that the series will never be finished. A lot of his ideas for the second book came from Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. I read all 14 books and enjoyed the journey, but it’s not for everyone. Jordan spends a lot of time describing women’s clothing, and books 10 and 11 are a slog. His health was failing and it shows in the writing. Thankfully he took meticulous notes and passed the project on to Brandon Sanderson who picked the pace back up and really did the story justice with the ending. There’s a whole lot in modern fantasy that is derivative of Robert Jordan’s work. If you can stomach a very long, and very intricate series, then I highly recommend that one too. Amazon recently released a TV show based on the books, but I think it’s terrible. Some people like it, but I strongly disliked it, so much so that I couldn’t even force myself to finish it. Anyways, WoT is a great series, as is almost anything by Sanderson.
