Is it done? What happened?
Is it worth reading?
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, absolutely not. Too many words. Too much braid-pulling and genders not able to have actual conversations with the other.
That is to say, I know people who were enjoying it back in the day, not shamefully hooked like myself. I just couldn't recommend it in good conscience.

I tried to get into it a couple of times, but I seem to have lost my taste for fantasies that require cheat sheets to keep track of things.

It seemed to be one of those works that needed details to understand while you're in the trenches reading, but any given book could be summed up in a few sentences, and the series to date in fewer.

Umm, I think it's still on-going. I can't say when I gave up on it but there are something like 11 books in the series so far.

I read The Sharing Knife, and I was very disappointed. It seemed like something any number of fantasy writers could have written.

ita, it's still on going, Robert Jordan has some potentially fatal disorder, but doesn't expect he'll be done until he's 90, an age he may not see.
Do NOT get sucked back in.
Don't do it!
But if you do, can I just ship Paul's copies of the damn books your way to get them out of my house? He's agreed that they're not good for him, only make him mad, and he's just reading them to see how it ends, if it does.
