I am willing to give him another go. Maybe my issue comes from two places:

1. I took a break from WoT (can’t blame him for dying, I suppose) and picked up the first Sanderson book a few years later. Maybe it was Jordan’s writing that I disliked as I had matured. I was also pissed off that I would have to wade through two more books of this shit. I don’t think I finished even the first finale book.
2. Curious as to whether the problem was Jordan leaving a mess of notes or whether the problem was Sanderson, I picked up Mistborn. I gave it a good go. I have a rule not to dismiss books before 50 pages (sometimes I forget them after fewer, but that’s because I get busy and intend to go back later), but for this one I gave it a hundred pages or so.

Thanks for the recommendation. Tbh, I hear such good things about him that I have wondered what I was missing. So I’ll give a few of his other series/novels a go.
