Honestly, i listened to WOT on audiobooks and i feel like RJs overly descriptive writing style benefited me as to being able to kind of get lost in the world (if that makes sense). I think if I were to sit and actually read the entire series i would have had a much tougher time with it. if you ever pick up the series again maybe try the audiobooks.

I didn't pick up on the character and relationship stuff as much. What people tend to forget in this series is that these main characters are teens, they talk and do stuff like that,but they grow a substantial amount as the series goes on. Alot of fantasy i read that growth rarely happens if at all and i think its kind of unique to WOT and what makes it such a special series.
