Wheel of time is massive. It's great a and deep and soe parts do drag but at least it's finished! (small barb aimed at KKC)
Yeah, at least it's finished. I'm quite enjoying it so far. Any recommendations for when I'm done?
Robin Hobb - start with the Farseer Trilogy and then enjoy the ride.

Still the best payoff in fantasy, I think.
So back in the day I was sure that Robert Jordan would never finish WoT and I made a personal rule not to start series that isn't finished. I was reading a book recommendation thread on Slashdot, someone emphatically sold me on Game of Thrones and said that it was just a three book series, and book 2 was already out. Great, I thought, but here I am after like 25 years and A Song of Ice and Fire will never be finished.
I also made an exception for King Killer Chronicles, and I really enjoyed reading it, but its a bummer it is not and may never be finished.
I hold faith but it's hard when things keep getting in The way of KKC. And the new lightning tree news was such a letdown.
