Has anyone read this whole series? I was really deep in it a few years ago but I kinda drifted away from it. I know the author died and it was finished by Brandon Sanderson, is it worth finishing?
please keep to your containment thread, shitcunt

My, you're a whiner. How dare people post on a board that speaks slower than an Ent? The gall.

i've read all of it.
it gets a bit weak between books 7 and 11 but the final few written by brandon sanderson are probably the best of the lot. robert jordan was great at worldbuilding and made some great characters but he got too caught up in the series and just wasn't able to finish it, he just kept rambling on (see crossroad of twilight, the weakest book in the series).
I would definitely recommend finishing them, you'll love the last few books.

I've read the first four books three times, five up to nine two times and ten up to fourteen once. I agree that the series is at it's weakest at book 10. Book 9 redeems itself for me with its ending, though, and I enjoyed 7 and 8.
I'm glad that Brandon Sanderson was able to finish the series, and I thought his books were good, but some of the spark, some of the magic that was in the earlier books was missing. Then again, they were concluding books, not allowing as much for world building. And I was a lot younger when I read the first few books for the first time.
But OP, it's worth it if you enjoy world building and magic. It's one of my favorite fantasy series.
