Yes but there's only 7 subscribers and I'm the only post :(
Then again it's a niche community about a fantasy series, I'm not surprised it doesn't have much going on yet.

I'm about to go make that 8!
Edit- still getting used to this and my search on jerboa isn't pulling anything for wheeloftime
I'm going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I'll probably read Dune. I've heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I've read some fantasy staples but I'd be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn't like the author.
WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.
WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.
It's kinda addictive. When it's good, it's great. When it's bad, it's tolerable.
You really want to know what happens next....and at least you're not starting it before it has been finished. You didn't want to live through THOSE years.
Overall, I'm a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.
