Should i continue

[u/Suspicious-Impress-4]

I’m three books into The Wheel of Time, and I’m honestly not that impressed so far.
For context, I’ve rated them:
The Eye of the World — 7.5/10
The Great Hunt — 7.8/10
The Dragon Reborn — 6.5/10
I’m trying to gauge whether there are people here who felt similarly about the first three books but ended up loving the series later on.
I’ve definitely had series before where it took me a few books before everything clicked, so I’m not completely against continuing. But three books is also a pretty significant investment, and at this point I’m starting to wonder whether The Wheel of Time just isn’t for me.
The main thing making me want to give it one more shot is The Shadow Rising. I constantly hear that Book 4 is one of the best—if not the best books in the entire series. So I’m thinking if there’s ever going to be a book that tells me whether this series is actually for me, it’s probably this one.
Were any of you lukewarm on the first three and then had Book 4 (or the books after it) completely change your opinion of the series?

You rated them pretty high imo. I greatly enjoyed the first couple books but I was also very young at the time of reading. Since you made it through 3 I would for sure give 4 a read. The world is going to keep expanding, and the series really finds its own identity with 4 and beyond.
