This topic makes me not want to read that series.

There's no reason why you ever should. Especially when there are a lot of better fantasy series out there you could be reading instead of spending time on 14 books worth of creeping disappointment and (no pun intended) wheel-spinning.

The most telling thing about how Wheel of Time was written was that it was originally intended to be written as a trilogy. Now think of all the ways in which a writer can expand three books into fourteen. The series uses every single one of those tricks, good and bad, over and over again.
