I agree, I also started when they were just released, and they're definitely a looooot more pulpy than I remember. For me this is a bonus! Love me some pulp. Also I found books 5 and 6 or 4 and 5, can't quite recall, to be a major slog. Had to almost force myself to keep reading, which is not great.

Sadly, I think the reason they wouldn't do very well if released today is not that they're a bit pulpy, but that they're not drivel, been noticing the trend in the last decade that the most popular books are verrry poorly written.

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.
