The Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books. By book 7 I hated the main characters and really hated the writing style. The repetition. The repetition. The repetition...
The Sanderson books were ok, but they couldn't rescue the series and I got no joy from finishing it. A lot of relief though to be done with it.
I think I made it to book 6 and just stopped. I was utterly bored by that point.
Same. I tried to read through them a second after a few years had passed. I figured it might have just been the mind set I was in at the time. Nope, I got to about the same point and was just bored and super annoyed at all the characters.
Agreed on the wheel of time. Every character has one and just one quirk and they repeat it in every occasion. Also it's quite troubling, once you start thinking on it, this fixation on men/women relationship.
I rage quit after book 3. I'm sorry you had to suffer so much longer.
Read Sanderson's own books though. They're pretty good, IMO
