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?

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

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

Because the writer changed?

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