What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

I will probably never catch up with the current writing of the Wandering Inn, but I can always read a few chapters here and there. It's quite easy for me to put down and pick up in between other reading. Reading on Kindle probably makes it easier

First time reading fantasy?

You could probably make the Wheel of Time series 20% shorter if you removed the fashion descriptions and all instances of people conveying moderate annoyance through body language.

Wheel of time is one series I wanted to like but just couldn’t get through after a certain point.

Like the author wasn’t quite sure where he wanted to go so just didn’t go anywhere at all for a long time..

I was told books 1-4 and then the last few were amazing. I wasn't enraptured by the first few, so I put it down as well. I didn't want to slog through 5 more books in the hopes I'd potentially enjoy 4 more.

The last three because Brandon Sanderson wrote them?

[–] halykthered@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you rephrase the question? I'm not sure I follow.

"I was told ... the last few were amazing"

Because the writer changed?

[–] halykthered@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, they didn't elaborate on why they liked the last few, only that they did.
