How am I reviewing a series I’ve never read, and a show I’ve only seen half of?

Steve West

Don’t read the Broken Empire. Seriously, don’t. At least until you are into the fantasy genre. Broken Empire is a series for the experienced fantasy reader, not the newbie.

Wheel of Time: Destiny and Power

Steve West
September 1, 2023

I read The Wheel of Time long ago, and I never finished it. There are limits to any series, and if you start to get boring, you’ll start to lose your audience.
