Has anyone read all ten books in his (seemingly) never ending saga ?

I have read the first eight and half read the ninth. I am losing interest in the series VERY quickly.

i would be interested in what other people think of his novels.

Did the first eight books hold your interest? If not, how could you read that much? 😕

Urhhhh, i'm yet to get the tenth, but in the last 5 or 6 the plot has progressed at a snails pace. Jordan is milking this series for all it's worth.

I enjoyed the first seven books, then everything started to slow down. Jordan killed off most of the existing bad guys, so he had to invent more and slow the good guys down.

The problem for me is I have read so much of the series, that every new book I think this must be nearing the end but he never seems to get close. Unless he has invented yet more plots lines in the tenth book I do not see how the series will not finish by the end of the twelveth book. Problem is we may have to wait another four to six years to find out.
