Wonder if the whole series will go on sale as Amazon gets closer to launching their live action series

Looks like those are from 456 days ago, over a year. makes sense i missed them
Also, Rand's "revelation" about why the universe matters is the most trite and stupid thing ever.
And the thing is that those slower books are just fine. They just aren't at the high level you had come to expect.
Seems like every epic fantasy writer has a slow patch at some point. This is it for Jordan. And it isn't as bad as the slow book from the Game of Thrones series. Which is also a great series, despite the slow book (and still no ending).
Just stick with it. You'll be glad you did.
By the time you're on your 3rd or 4 re-read, you'll still feel the slow-down, but it won't bother you very much.
Very simply, it's the best epic fantasy series ever.

When I did my re-read, I used the summaries on a chapter by chapter basis, based on what was going on and what character the point of view was from. Even the worst books have some really good chapters.

The world building, main storyline narrative arc and many other aspects of this series are amazing, and set the standard for modern epic fantasy. I was never a fan of Jordans writing style, and the pacing suffers in books 7-10, but don't let that stop you from reading an incredible series. Jordan spends too much time describing the superficial while much more significant plot points almost slide by unnoticed. It can be maddening on an initial read through, but when you reread the series you start catching them and there are several "holy crap" moments. There's a reason the series has sold over 90 million copies and many people have read them all multiple times.
Book 4 The Shadow Rising is a very common pick for one of the best in the series (I would love to say why, but no spoilers - suffice to say it establishes this world as unique in the fantasy genre). The Great Hunt (book 2) is when the series really becomes its own story. I'm glad both are included in this sale.
