Since I'm gonna read all of SK novels, it's just a matter of the right order for me! But they're all really worth it (except Rage, that was pure crap). Well, I'm not sure I'm the best one out there to tell you anything about WoT cause I'm obsessed with that story, so I'm really optimistic about it haha It's basically a 15 book journey that takes the experience of reading to the next level. I have never been so emotionally involved with a world as I'm with WoT's. The pacing is definitely not stable as the series goes. You'll find books 1-6 feel like you're going faster and faster towards an endgame, but then books 7-10 slows things down a little and the series gets way more political as the characters are growing and the final pieces of the puzzle are being set before the ultimate showdown which is books 11-14. I just started book 10 yesterday and I must say, I read book 9 in 3 days. I loved everything about it, so the pacing can be subjective. Only book that I found extra slow so far was 7 and pretty much everyone online hates 10. The others are fantastic. Ending a WoT book is always an event for me. I read like the last 250 pages in one sitting through the night till morning. Plotwise, it would be foolish to even try to explain it in a paragraph, but it's basically a cyclical world in which there's a battle between The Dark One (pure manifestation of evil) vs The Dragon (which would be a reincarnation of the Light in one man). But the scope of it is SO MUCH BIGGER than this. As you go through with it, you'll realize everything and everyone's connected to this battle. My favorite saga of all time, even if I haven't finished my 1st readthrough.
