I'm currently going through a re-read of Wheel of Time. It does get long winded around the middle, there's a shift in story telling where it's less about the characters finding themselves and their paths, and becomes more about world events. The pace slows down as things become more complex, but everything that happens is entrenched in the books own history and gives a depth to the storytelling that I've never experienced in any other series. Plus it is nearly done.
