WoT was enjoyable up to (and mostly including) Lord of Chaos, but after that the story just got completely bogged down.
A drama unfolding at a glacial pace. Lord of Chaos is book 6 (of 10 thus far). Given that his books average 800+ pages, that's well over 3000 more pages one has to endure just to discover the story isn't any closer to the climax he started towards 8000+ pages earlier.

It's unreasonable to expect your children (if you have any) to be born, grow up, and go off to college before this silly story reaches a conclusion. Which could well happen at Jordan's pacing.

Have I beaten this (slowly) dying horse dead yet?
