The general formula for the books is 800 pages of setup, random talking, and intense descriptions, followed by 200 pages of mayhem and insanity. It pays off in the end, but it definitely is an investment.
Overall though, the series becomes much more adult and complex after the first book or two. It definitely reads as a LOTR-clone in the beginning until Jordan finds his footing.
4 & 5 are some of my fave books of all time.
