It’s a 14 book epic, that pretty much comes with the territory. You get the details, world building, character’s nuance, etc. it’s not all moving the plot forward.

I just finished the series last week after starting it in January 2024. It’s a pretty damn good epic. Yes there are slower parts, but on the whole it’s very enjoyable and well paced. Not sure what you’d expect from a 14 book series. You’re also full of it if you say the 12000 page series is terrible, yet you also reread it last year. That is nonsensical to put that much time and effort into something that’s ‘pretty terrible’.

Although I believe he is touring again.
