Pros
Pro A diverse cast of main and side characters bring the world to life
Starting with the main character, Rand, and his two friends, Matt and Perrin, the cast of this series continues to grow throughout the books as the events of the story have far-reaching effects. All of these characters are written very well, with deep personalities and realistic flaws, and feel like real people.
Pro Incredibly detailed world building
Across 14 books author Robert Jordon builds an amazing world full of interesting places, people, and events.
Cons
Con Wheel of Time is a very long series
With 14 books, many long in their own right, this is a very long series and the middle books in the series can get a bit dry as the politics of this world take a front seat in the build up to the finale.
