I just got my hands on the entirety of the Wheel of Times series. I remember reading about half of it as a teen before falling off, I think due to catching up to the series, but maybe due a bit to boredom.
I could use a new high fantasy series, and have been exploring a few options. Malazan Book of the Fallen is another series I want to continue, but I'm exploring options before committing to one.
I've heard good things about the Inheritance Trilogy, and I tried Mistborn but fell out with it once I realized how lovey-dovey it got.
So did WoT series finish out well? Would you suggest giving it a reread?

The middle dragged and the end felt rushed. It's not bad for light reading, but it's huge time investment.
I read them all, but wouldn't do it again.

I love the series, read it all the way though for the first time two years ago, but I have to admit that it's got some serious issues.
After the first four or so books, and up until the last four, the first 90% of the books is just people walking, talking, and planning, then in the last tenth somebody finally executes their plan and it screws up everyone else's plans. The series would have really benefited from being some 4 books shorter.
Also, the women characters are for the most part really fucking similar, bitchy and arrogant and petty. And everyone, male and female, spends the whole series whining about how incomprehensible members of the opposite sex are.
I still liked it, but if I were to reread it I would probably skip a decent chunk of it.
