I’ve seen them mentioned a lot, especially now with the show.
Are they actually worth the read?
Or is it standard fanfare?

    My recommendation is to read books 1-6, read chapter summaries for books 7-11, then read books 12-14

      This the exact recommendation I give people. I have a friend who's been stuck in the 7-11 slog for years and I just want her to skip to Sanderson's I can say stuff without spoiling it.

        I recently re-read the series this way and it was a good way to keep the momentum going without getting bogged down in Rand’s Very Moody Arc

          Rand’s Very Moody Arc.

          I’m on book five. So far, this is an accurate description of the series.

        Was the seventh book where they're looking for the bowl of the Winds or whatever? I was an extremely avid reader when I was younger or I don't think I could have done it.
