There are some things that I am disappointed about, like how some characters seemingly dropped out of the story for no apparent reason, but I still find the character development and the story quite engaging. Just a question, no offense meant :)

His blood has no red, his fights have no grit, his characters are psychopathic nymphomaniacs (and not in an interesting way), his dialogue is irrelevant, and his scenes and settings are half-articulated.
His writing is violent and disturbing in it's lack of passion. There is no humor or spice to his books.
Reading his work is akin to eating a piece of dry toast when there's a gourmet buffet of other literature available.
At least Robert Jordan's elephant of a series is interesting for a few books.
I strongly suggest waiting until it's finished to read any of the Wheel of Time. Perhaps a drop in sales would prompt the #$%&er to finish the damn story.
He's doing prequels now.
Fricken prequels.
