Finishing **Wheel of Time 8: The Path of Daggers ** Maybe I'll read something else before I begin WoT9
You are getting to the part that is kind of a slog, but I promise the pay off in the end is worth getting thru the series.
True, I find myself skipping some words/sentences/paragraphs and even pages. Jordan wrote a lot of words, but they're not all necessary for the overall story.
Brandon Sanderson really brought it all back together and tied up the series well. 9, 10 and 11 are kind of drawn out and wandering; you might find yourself questioning what you are doing and how this all plays a part in the story, but I swear it gets reined back in and you get put on track again. The fully series is such a great story its super worth it.
If you need to pick something to skim, choose Perrin chapters. I skipped basically every Perrin chapter in book 9 on my fourth reread of the series and it turned a mid book into a pretty good one.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.
