I'd love to see Brandon Sanderson versions of the earlier novels. Sure, he did end up turning what was supposed to be one more book into 3 more that are each thicker than the rest, but I suspect Jordan himself would have made more than 3.
I didn't stop reading over this, but I was annoyed when one book ends in (big event that can be felt over the entire world) and then the next book doesn't really advance time at all, but just describes what pretty much every single other character was doing at that moment. Fine, it was kinda cool to see that, but I really just wanted to see the results of that big event instead of having to wait some more years for the next book to come out.
I consider Jordan kinda like Tolkien. Amazing world and story building combined with ok writing. Not bad (way better than I could do) but not amazing either.
Though I do still need to do another read through as an adult, since I read like half of them as a teen and probably missed a lot. Maybe I'll enjoy the lengthy descriptions of tapestry patterns second time around.
