I decided to begin The Wheel of Time. So far I don't think Jordan needed to say half of what he wrote. I have had a taste of it and have set it aside. I may be able to resume reading later giving it room to acclimate in the back of my mind.
Brandon Sanderson has become a favorite author of mine. Currently I am reading Warbreaker. Worth noting, he has skillfully crafted a few of the characters through their banter. Some of the dialogue is so cleverly written. It has been very enjoyable reading.
I also recently completed his The Emperor's Soul and Elantris. Especially liked the fast pace of Emperor's Soul' single book after reading several trilogies.
Also read The Warded Man by Peter Brett. I was bothered by the last quarter. The author switched perspectives on everyone and it did not work. That will be a 5-book series though it states "trilogy" almost everywhere. The publisher gave a tentative go on three but sales guaranteed the author's vision of a 5-book series. I am not reading the other books though. The first was that bad, or rather, Brett ruined the good book that exists in the first 3/4s and I ended up not liking anything about the story's direction or any character's behavior.
