holy gently caress i love wheel of time.

was solid through book 6 but he kinda lost it and needed some editing and then he got sick and who's gonna tell a dying guy to get his poo poo together

he cared more about wold building than story but he had some decent prose

sanderson did a decent wrapup

fantasy:

umm...malazan has some OK but it's a huge cast and nerdy as gently caress so it's not really a protag

robin mckinley has some good stuff but she's YA

my gf likes nk jemisin but haven't read her yet

the riftwar books that wurts wrote with feist are good and have some politics but it's been years since i've read

sanderson has some lady protags but his characters could use some work
