I've read all of the WOT books twice now (but multiple attempts...) And while they hold a special place in my heart and are instrumental in helping shape the modern epic fantasy scene, I'm kinda iffy of recommending them to people, especially those just getting into the genre. Be interested to hear your (and others!) thoughts on this as you get deeper into the series.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't recommend them to anyone new into fantasy. I've been craving a dense world to dive into, so WoT was perfect (and I picked up the entire collection for like $60)
