The Wheel of Time series

Sorry, I only read six books. I really liked it at the start, but by the end of book 6 it was apparent the series had succumbed to Zeno's Paradox*, while at the same time each book got bloated with lengthy pointless descriptions and repetitions (just how many braid tugs can one read about, really?). I wouldn't mind taking the scenic route if it were, well, scenic, but I no longer felt it was.

I did continue to buy the books, I think I have up to volume 10 or 11, telling myself that if the series were ever completed, I'd read the lot. With the years, though, my need to know "how it ends" has disappeared.

* Zeno's Paradox: Consider an arrow fired at a tree. Before the arrow can reach the tree, it must pass the halfway point between archer and tree. Call that point A. After that, the arrow must pass the halfway point between A and the tree. Call that point B. After that, another halfway point, ad infinitum. No matter how close the arrow gets to its target, there is still a halfway point it needs to pass. An infinite number of points, which must thus take an infinite amount of time, so the arrow can never reach the tree.
(That's actually a mish-mash of several of Zeno's Paradoxes, but the general gist is preserved).
