Robert Jordan - Wheel of Time

It is a really good story and extremely detailed world. The books are written well for the most part. However, the author writes with more of a Tolkien type of naïveté. The books are written more with younger readers in mind. But the story gets very dark. There is no graphic sex scenes or real gore. Not GOT by any means. The author does begin to use repetitive, and after about 5 of theses tombs I mean repetitive , character mannerisms and behavior. Good read overall. The authored died before the finale was published. A secondary author was brought in to finish the series. Can’t remember his name. He worked from a nearly completed draft and notes from the Jordan and did a good job emulating him. I got out and of the fantasy genre so I’m sure there are more GOT type alternatives that are written more for adult focused realism. In my opinion I do think it is worth the read.

I've not made a commitment to them yet, though reading the opening pages of the first one, I think I might at some stage.

I have at least 3 friends who read and loved the entire series.

Great books, love the whole series

Recommendations are always very subjective. What one person loves another will hate even if they both like the same genre. I actually did enjoy them but others complained of the slow pace of getting lost in details. But I like details. Lol
