Given how far this once-great series has drifted, it will take a lot of work to bring it back. Sounds like Sanderson needs a vacation! Read his blog post, and it should reassure more than anger: Brandon Sanderson: Splitting AMOL |
I am a huge WoT fan but I agree completely with your assessment of books 7 through 10 wasting too much time, with things picking up in book 11. Hopefully Sanderson reads posts like this and doesn't make the same mistake.
