Those of you who quit around book 10 or 11 picked the wrong time, although I don't blame you.  Book 10 was without question the absolute worst in the series.  Book 11 was decent only by way of comparison.  Once Sanderson took over with book 12, things markedly improved.  Yes, you can argue that Sanderson isn't as…
