But he's fat and old, meg. I'm worried.

:lol:

I just hope he doesn't pull a Robert Jordan and decide this series needs to be 3000000000000000 books long.

I hope one more and it's done. A nice 5 book series.

The planned length is 7 books.

I so knew Jordan would die before finishing, and then he went and did it. I'll prob finish the series once the new guy wraps them up though. I've put in way too much time not to find out how everything comes together by the end. I think I just have the 12 book and the new stuff left. Still, what a prick, he went back and wrote prequels before finishing the series. Ass.

I've never even attempted those books.

From what I hear, after about book 7 or 8, they don't even make sense anymore.

They make sense, they're just incredibly sprawling. There's way too many characters at that point and the story barely progresses. However there are still moments of excellence. Book Ten has such a moment. I can't speak to the quality of the writing because I read them when I was much younger and the more recent ones have a nostalgic value for me since I care about the characters. However based upon nostalgic memories I'd really recommend the first five books. The world building is excellent. But bear in mind that the story in the first book doesn't really kick off until page 100 or so.
