Book six, now, in the Great Wheel Of Time Re-Read. So far there's been one pretty-good-but-a-little-wobbly book (Eye of the World) and four really solidly excellent books (The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn, The Shadow Rising, and The Fires of Heaven). This one is still pretty good, but it's starting to wobble just that little bit that makes it apparent upon this, my Nth reading through the series, that Very Soon Now the whole thing is going to come unstuck and flail about helplessly for, um, well, three to five books (depending on whether one counts Crown of Swords as part of the godawful phase or still just part of the lead-in, and also whether Knife of Dreams climbs back ouf of the hole, which others imply it does, but I was too fed up with the series when it came out to bother reading it).
Gee, really makes me look forward to carrying on with the re-read, no? But there's a new one due out in a few months, so I must perservere!
