My experience with TWoT (and isn’t *that* an unfortunate acronym?) was getting partway into book 5, at which point one of my favorite characters had been written out of the plot (temporarily, as I was later led to understand) a book or so prior, and realizing that all these *absolute children* were doing was a) going nowhere and b) squabbling like absolute brats, constantly. I put the book aside unfinished, first time I’d ever done that (especially for an epic fantasy series, normally my bread-n-butter), and never went back.
It did teach me, at long last, the valuable life lesson of “If you’re not enjoying it, stop reading it.”
