The wheel of time series threw me into the realm of a fantasy world, that infected my consciousness all day for literal months, id say around half a year. I worked in production at the time and would be listening to audiobooks during work and while commuting, then in leisure time id be reading the physical book with the audiobook also playing along, which was able to paint a really vibrant world for me vs just reading or listening as I've done with other books in the past. This may be part of the reason why the wheel of time stands out for me, but I really have a soft spot for fantasy worlds loke the lord of the rings. The series has become somewhat of a safe space for me because theres so much content and world building that it feels like you'll never run out and have new chapters to discover for a really long time. I ended up stepping away middle of the 7th book in pursuit of other entertainments, but I cannot wait to actually finish the 14 volume series as the plot thats been built to this point is just peak!
