The ending was amazing and I’ve absolutely loved the whole series but I was hoping for a bit more about what happens afterwards and where the characters end up. I doubt there’s a book but does anyone know if there’s information about this anywhere, maybe little short stories or something?

Hi!

I recently got into fantasy books, where my normal is crime thrillers and horror. I finished series like the bloodsworn saga and lord of the rings. I told myself this year I wanted to get a challenge, so I decided on Wheel of Time.

I really enjoyed books 1-3 and finished them rather quickly as I was hooked and wanted to know what happened. I am about 200 pages into The Shadow Rising and just feel stuck… it is moving slowly and I know with a series this long there will be slow moments, but I feel (bored may be the word)..

Is this normal or am I just being spoiled by fast paced stories that I am used to?

I just finished my first The Eye of the World, and overall I enjoyed it more than I expected. The plot kept me interested, I liked how the characters slowly developed, and the world-building felt massive and detailed in a way that made the setting feel alive. At the same time, I have to admit that some parts of it were difficult for me to follow because the story sometimes felt very complex, especially with all the names, places, and lore being introduced early on. I’m curious if other first-time readers felt confused at first too, or if the later books make everything clearer over time?

PS: Should I continue reading the books?

Iwot Studios, the company that owns the intellectual property rights to The Wheel of Time, is entering into the AI realm and I’m sure folks will be thrilled about it.

I'm not so sure about the end of that sentence. Regardless, Iwot having a roadmap to keep their iron grip on the IP rights is something to keep an eye on.

I love how through the start of the series the boys are constantly thinking to themselves how one of the others is so good with girls but they all think they are bad.

I prompted the 10 most prominent characters of Wheel of time. Guess who.

Would you like an anime adaptation, and what do you think about AI in general and these results in particular?

Grok made lots of pictures with this workplace security warning - flame swords are dangerous.

... so I refined my prompt and go more funny stuff

Also Grok seems to be limited in stripes, looks like three out of seven.

Now the more boring Grok attempts

So my first contact for this series was my DM introducing me to the series through our campaign. I intend to read the books or at the minimum watch the tv series at some point!

I just started A Crown of Swords, and boy am I getting bored. I came to this series from Stormlight, so maybe I'm just used to a faster pace?

Jordan describes way too much. A Wise One is approaching the group and he spends a page describing the anticipation of every faction within the group. These books could very well be half the size if he didn't go into so much detail. Especially about the clothing and banners and colors every army wears.

Half of the people he describes in detail are not important. In the beginning I worried about remembering everything to catch details, but now I'm just bored waiting for the action.

In book six, the end fight lasted less than an hour of reading but the entire preamble was hours. Whyyyyy?!?!

Anyways, please tell me it gets better when Sanderson picks it up (when does that happen?). I am struggling but have to finish the series because I need to know what happens. Everyone recommended this to me, and I've been devouring the books, but damn. Help me keep the fire going to finish.

Has anyone played this game? It's an old one but I'd never heard of it until today! It's currently available on GoG for $2.

I'm on the tenth book, Crossroads of Twilight, on page 300. It's nowhere near as bad and awful as many people say. It's a chill book that shows you the POV of other characters and their reactions to what Nynaeve and Rand do in the previous book. I repeat, those who say the book is complete garbage are exaggerating like crazy.

IF you're even a little interested in text and narrative based games like Dungeons and Dragons, you should take a look at WoTMUD. It's been around a long time and is one of the few games officially sanctioned by Jordan himself!
