Yeah I know, but I did love it at the start, thought it was fantastic.
Then the whole Italy part happened and I struggled, finally got through it and it was more tedium, I wish I could have enjoyed it more, is a story that reads like something I'd love.

Right!?
And the funny thing is it's a book I really didn't enjoy and one of the only books I've ever stopped reading because I was so bored.
Yet I see posts weekly about how good it is and feel I've missed something.

Reply to That feeling of loss when you finish a great book by Not_l0st
Yes, I felt really lost for a while after finishing The Wheel of Time, it took me several years to get through it all as I don't get time for long reading sessions.
But I read it all on Kindle and would take it literally everywhere with me, I travelled all across Australia, Europe, Mauritius, Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand with that book in my pocket.
I read it on planes, buses, cars, trains, trams and taxis.
I read it at the pub waiting for mates, at sports stadiums during half time, at lunch time during work or in my bed until I dozed off to sleep.
Any free moment I had I would give to reading that series, so when I concluded the final book, I wasn't just finishing a chapter in a book, I was finishing a chapter in my life.
