The wheel Of time series. I got through the first 2 books before realising that I disliked every character. Also every female character was written so poorly it made me want to “Tug on my braid and stamp my foot”
The first book I really enjoyed. The second was good. It started sliding downhill quickly from there…
So much stuff needed to be either cut or at least re-written! His wife was his editor. She was a professional, but I feel like she didn’t have the heart to be tough on him. Or possibly he felt he didn’t have listen to her like he would an editor he wasnt married to…
Could have been a great series with another draft or two. One of the rare instances of the movie versions being better than the books.
I loved Wheel of Time for the world building and the background mythology. I did trudge though till Jordan’s last book and I have not returned to it. The only character I liked at all was Mat. It just seemed like a long D&D game that got a little out of hand.

Did you at least lament tugging your braids wistfully? :)
Don’t make me box your ear!
