Title: Read the First Four Books, Stop, then Read the Last One!
Review: I WAS a die hard Robert Jordan fan. His first four books in the Wheel of Time series were masterpieces: great writing, thought out story arc, new ideas in the science fiction/fantasy realm, foreshadowing everywhere. I remember the anticipation before a new book in the series came out, to see what was going to happen next.Now I do not care any more. Starting with books 5 and 6, things started slipping. As the series became widely popular, the editing went by the wayside. Endless new characters, new plot threads, no conclusions to old plot threads, major milestones just suddenly happening in the last chapter of the books, seeming to be tacked on just to have something happen.This series started out to be a masterpiece, now, its a sad legacy to what might have been. Aren't the folks at Tor taking notice?
