I enjoyed Jordan's books but felt that they were "overly descriptive" if that makes sense. I used to think that the only thing he missed was the colour of carpet or curtains. I think that the plot was so convoluted and long in realisation that I got bored. Even Tolkien did it in 3 books.
But. But I would like to read the final book to see how it all turns out for the characters.
