When I was at university a bunch of housemates were reading this and I kept shouting TROLLOCS! all the time.
Happy days.

You are in for insufferable women pulling their hair and screaming for 10 books, it's like a feminist introspection, and an edgy manchild who thinks pain makes a man and rejects monogamous relationships. It's literally men vs. women mentality for a long ass time until finally it becomes a sad attempt at critique of determinism and sleight of hand kantian morality

Fun series if you're a teenager or younger though it gets unbearable even for them further in. You'll learn a lot about the weather patterns and popular hairstyles of a fictional setting.

I enjoyed it a lot because I was using it to learn English and because I have similar fetishes to Robert Jordan.

Starts out pretty strong in the first two books but as it goes on you start to realise how shit all the characters are, how dull the plot is and the fact that characters will spend entire books sitting in one place doing litterally nothing.
