I read the majority of the series in high school but I remember some of them just dragging for seemingly forever where it's basically a period piece of people going over to each others houses and talking about the weather. The few books that were written by Brandon Sanderson were fine, I feel like he was constrained by Jordan's major plot points that he had finished before he died because it was a little dumb, and there was so much material he ended up having to split what was only supposed to be the last book into three.
