Jim's Review
🐛
Fourteen books. Fourteen! Jim has committed to longer relationships with fewer pages. But that first book? It's a wonderful adventure that hooks you like a worm on a fishing line (sorry for the imagery). Jordan's world is massive, the magic system is fascinating, and the characters grow on you like moss on a comfortable rock. Yes, the middle books sag, but the payoff is worth it. Burrowing into this series is a commitment, but it's hard to regret a single page. Four worms — the Wheel weaves.
