Honestly, don’t bother. It’s not worth it, and I say that as someone who was obsessed with this series when I was younger
I started reading the Wheel of Time in my teens and finished it nearly (over?) 20 years later.
The first few books are great. And then nothing happens for ages and then the author died.
To his credit, Brandon Sanderson did an admirable job of wrapping up the series, but it never lived up to its early promise.
My “one book” would be Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett, not so much for the book itself (even though it’s wonderful), but for introducing me to my favourite author (AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST CHARACTERS IN FICTION).
