I just finished! loved hearing your thoughts. I'd say this is probably my favorite series ever. While it's definitely not a perfect series I think just going through the journey made me love the characters so much and I feel so attached to them. I enjoyed pretty much every book and wouldn't call any of them bad. Usualy if I had an issue it was because of pacing. I'd rank them as such: 1. Fires of Heaven - S 2. Memory of Light - S 3. The Gathering Storm - S 4. Knife of Dreams- A 5. The Great Hunt- A 6. Towers of Midnight- A 7. The Dragon Reborn- A 8. The Shadow Rising- A 9. Lord of Chaos- B 10. Eye of the World- B 11. Crown of Swords- B 12. Winters Heart- B 13. Path of Daggers- C 14. Crossroads of Twilight- D
Very fair & honest ranking! Mine looks like this 1. The Shadow Rising- S 2. A Memory of Light- S 3. The Gathering Storm- S 4. Towers of Midnight- S 5. The Great Hunt- S 6. The Dragon Reborn- A 7. Knife of Dreams- A 8. The Fires of Heaven- A 9. Lord of Chaos- A 10. The Eye of the World- B 11. A Crown of Swords- B 12. Winter's Heart- B 13. New Spring- C 14. The Path of Daggers- D 15. Crossroads of Twilight- D
I also waited a year or two before reading the prequel. It made it nice to return to that world after some distance. As for characters, I'm all in for Egwene, but it took me a few books to get there. Read these back in 2018 and this was my ranking back then. I'm not sure if I agree with it now, but my favorite and least favorite are definitely the same. 1. The Gathering Storm (Book 12) 2. A Memory of Light (Book 14) 3. The Dragon Reborn (Book 3) 4. The Eye of the World (Book 1) 5. The Fires of Heaven (Book 5) 6. The Shadow Rising (Book 4) 7. The Lord of Chaos (Book 6) 8. The Towers of Midnight (Book 13) 9. The Great Hunt (Book 2) 10. Knife of Dreams (Book 11) 11. Path of Daggers (Book 8) 12. Crown of Swords (Book 7) 13. Winter’s Heart (Book 9) 14. Crossroads of Twilight (Book 10)
