I actually really enjoyed the series, but he goes into an incredible amount of detail that makes the plot seem to bog down pretty badly in places. I had a lot of trouble keeping interested between books 6-8 or so, but I still found it interesting. It helps to have a dedicated period of time every workday when my choices are to read or to try and play on ChiefsPlanet on my phone.
As much as I loved the series until Robert Jordan's passing, however, Brandon Sanderson was a nice breath of fresh air for the last two. Suddenly things moved more quickly and were more exciting. I'm excited to read the last one next year.
