The series doesn't pick up until 5? Or Mat being garbage? The first I don't really agree with. Egwene's experience in the second chills and the battle was really great. The third grants Rand his title and

Tells Rand who he really is and he starts to embrace it. And sets up his people.Edit: "ramp up" and "pick up" are the same thing... I guess what im saying is I dont think it is slow by any means. At least not at that point. 8-10 is kinda going slowly, but it is cool with me because I have become so invested in the characters.
Bud, the foreshadowing isn't exactly subtle in the first book. Mat being garbage is what stops me from enjoying other characters. 5 books with a centerpiece character I can't stand is too many. Everything else about the book isn't bad, if a little derivative. It's just that I can't stand how actively shit Mat is with every decision and having the temerity to bitch about the consequences of his own fucking actions.
