Yep, WoT. I won't read a series unless it's complete (that's probably not true but I try to stick to that because I've made the mistake before), so that I can just burn through. I thought RJ, and later Branderson, did a good enough job of reminding you of things later on. I also think my memory is good at books and stuff, bad at car keys and work.

And yeah, I found all the non-Fitz books to have a much happier feel to them. You're on the boat, you're in the wilds, you're following these stories. It's definitely more tradition fantasy. From the Fitz books though, I feel like we get this limited perspective of a character you literally watch grow up, and it's got a much more serious tone to it. And it's imperfect, and it's meant to be I feel.

I don't wanna talk a ton about it, but the series and it's conclusion are great, love it all. Fitz's growth just feels a lot more slow than the other books in the series, but him and his relationships all feel very intimate in a way that the other half of the series can't capture.
