They’re pretty ridiculous. I had a similar arc of experience with them, minus the book signing, but a year or so ago I picked up ePubs of the tail end of the series with an eye toward finally driving a stake into its heart. I hardly ever read fantasy these days, but I had a long plane flight ahead of me and figured I could do worse.
Roughly six hours of reading later, I was a quarter of the way into Knife of Dreams and already regretting that plan. I never did finish them.
Yes, they are. If I were to find myself re-reading them for some reason, I think I’d just have to read the parts with the Asha’man, and skip the two bazillion other subplots that go nowhere interesting.
And especially I’d skip everything that includes Faile. Better yet, women in general.

You’d miss all the incredible Nynaeve tugging her braid action X-)
