Suffers from classic worldbuildingitis; each book grows increasingly devoid of actual plot. Plus they brought in that hack Sanderson to write the last one.

The World of Time as a whole is very entertaining. I really loved the world, the magic, most of the characters, the history etc. Book seven, eight and nine are a bit slower but still entertaining, book ten is a whooole lot slower, but book eleven really picks up and twelve, thirteen and fourteen by Sanderson are pretty entertaining as well. Recommended.

It's good in places, but not enough to justify reading it all.

that dude is fucking huge lel

It's fine if you want generic Tolkien-esqe fantasy. I've kept the series on the back burner for a few years, it's a good go-to.

fantasy as a whole is a shit genre

grew out of it once i left middle school tbqh

I quit after book seven and never looked back. Dull and long-winded.

If you're going to read self-indulgent fantasy why not something a bit more original like malazan?

This, couldn't have said it better myself.

It's an excellent fantasy saga if you're willing to put the time into it and go into it realizing that it's going to be slow at some parts.
It's that simple really, not sure why it gets hated on sometimes.

Friend gave it to me for christmas. Never read it

Read like five books on a cruise.
It was rather decent. Slow at parts.
But it plays classic tropes and if you're a sucker for classic fantasy, then you'll like it.
