      The wheel of Time

      Seriously. I gave up on that series at book 5 when the author hadn’t resolved a single major plot point yet.

        Yeah, I bailed in book 4. I never finished it. It was the same Storystructure. I mean I loved it, but it was just going nowhere. The gang gets broken up into Subgroups and then then it’s an escort mission.
