By this I mean, a book you had to brace yourself to read, and you feel proud for having read. Did you enjoy the process of reading it?

    I really loved Wheel of Time but Robert Jordan took a story that should have been told in, idk, 4-7 books, and some how made it a 14 book behemoth.

      I think it’s the descriptions. I got an audio book of the first volume and it seemed like the descriptions went on for ages, but not a whole lot happened. Normally I love fantasy, but so far I can’t warm up to this series.

          It just turns into such a slog for so long. The highs are great but the meandering lows are so frustrating. I read them all back to back over about 8-10 months and it gets really noticeable when you do that
