The Wheel of Time self harm thread.

She turns out to be black ajah. but shes a fucking double agent. she takes the dark lord on at his own game playes everyone then uses suicides as a way to tell ewegene everything and expose all the black ajah

all while being the nerdy bookish one.

It's been a very long time since I read any of that shite, but I seem to recall far more spanking than is present in that graph.

I sadly, sadly need the 'world of wheel of time' books as they are written in game as it were, and detail loads of seanchan stuff. Help me shippy, you are my only hope. Cos I sure as fuck aint buying em
 
Didn't the author die? It can't go on indefinitely, surely? (I gave up around book 5 or 6)
 
he did, its being wrapped up by one Sanderson whose brevity is a fucking relief, last one due out january next year.
 
OK. Big Bump time.

So I have been watching a reviewer who loves W.O.T. and it's persuading me to try and get back into things.
Apparently books 7 or 8 through to 10 is known as 'the slog' and are worse than average.
Previously I gave up after finishing book 10, the final book of 'the slog' and apparently the nadir of the series.

With the new adaptation on the horizon and the insitance of RJ fans that this shiot is still good I'm considering returning to the series.

A problem is that I read most of this a decade ago. I don't think I want to read everything again but I do want to re-read some of the early stuff to remind me what I like about the books and to get back into things.

I may have to skim the wiki and see what my best options are.

TV tropes it and then finish the last book.
 
Gave up on book 2. Still like fantasy and sci-fi & am eternally grateful for being pointed in the direction of Steven Erikson and Joe Abercrombie.
 
The Darkness That Comes Before by R. Scott Bakker is good too.

When I think of grimdark I more imagine Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R Donaldson or Chung Kuo series by David Wingrove

I gave up on Robert Jordan on book 6 Lord of Chaos. Wasn't fun. He did a signing at the shop in the 90s, broke the chair I'd got him.
 
Also I do read a ton of fantasy and sci fi so I'm not normally hurting for stuff to read (Hell web novels along can keep me going for years). However I do genuinely remember some of WOT being good*. I would like to get what people love about it.

*I'm praying this isn't false memories.

I also need to get.back into stormlight. I've read book 1 like 3 times and book 2 at least once. I own number 3 and either have 4 or maybe have it preordered.

I'm currently listening to elantris on audio book while I row.

yeah she's boning him. in fact i think that was the end of the last book.

she is now much less annoying

right at the beginning it was interesting to have a character who was diffrent from standard fantasy fare
by book 4 the girls were really grating

Perhaps you should have tried jirel of joiry instead
 
Never read any of the books and know nothing about the story but i did see the trailer for the Amazon Prime show. I read the first series covers 2 books. 8 eps with 4 eps per book. May give it a go although the posts in this thread don't sound too promising :hmm: is this more like GOT or LOTR ?
 
I found a partial collection of this book series in the upstairs of an old pub I once squatted in Tooting. It had up to the eighth book. They ended up accompanying me as I drifted across London. I don't remember any bits being annoying, although I think there were some boring bits. Despite that, I remember that I enjoyed the series overall. Jordan's writing had a way of lighting up my imagination, even with its shortcomings.
