This was my favorite series growing up. I read it after Tolkien but before Terry Goodkind's sword of truth series.
Yes so regarding RJ...He's considered the GOAT at getting you inside the perspective of a character. At least that's my understanding of his claim to fame....
Only other thing I wanted to say was I hated the TV show, found it to be absolutely boring trash. I really wanted to like it though.
Oh yeah, the Great Hunt was my least favorite of the entire series. Just wait until you get to the gigantic super mega ultron hyper stupendous fantastic king battle at the end of Lord of Chaos. Now that was peak.
I’m going to write a whole post about how I think the tv show fits into this world.
I thought it had some merits, but was mostly confusing and disappointing.
It hinted at enough that I decided to read the series.

Oh wow that's cool you read it because of the show. Yeah I hope you make the post because I'd be interested to hear something redeeming about the show. Cheers

I read Tolkien growing up and he has a way too of describing characters and the scene and all but damn this Jordan fella has a way with words in just immersed completely and I’m happy as can be to have stumbled upon the show and then read the books. Now that I’m reading them I can totally get why the tv show flopped and did not hold the standard of the books.
