Re: Inspired by #1

My favorite long series may be the Vorkosigan saga, but it really is difficult for me to choose just one.

I'm currently trying to get into the Wheel of Time, but the first book is so. Damn. Boring.

I'd forgotten about the Vorkosigan saga! I guess because they work pretty well as stand alone novels, so they don't feel like a series to me.

Bad news: the later books in Wheel of Time are also super boring. I have no idea how people get through this yawnfest of a series.

lolol this is really not doing much to get me to push through and try to read the series! I keep thinking it must get better, but in the meantime I honestly wonder how people got through the first book and liked it enough to have them publish a sequel!

And I mean, if Discworld counts as a series, then Vorkosigan can too, right? :P

I wouldn't say that Wheel of Time is all boring but it does have really significant pacing issues through basically the entire series. So if that's a major problem for you then yeah it might not be great.

You're right in saying that Eye of the World is pretty boring. The next one (The Great Hunt) improves a lot. Most of the rest of the series holds to that - 3 through 6 are actually all really good and most of the others are at least decent. The two books that are a real problem are 8 (Path of Daggers) and 10 (Crossroads of Twilight) which are both much worse than Eye of the World. Like, they're really, really awful.

If things do pick up in the next book, then I may try to slog my way through this one. If I've got a bunch of good books before the next snoozefest, I'll try to at least see if I can experience those, to give the series a more fair chance XD
