What's so great about this series in particular?

Some of the things I particularly like about the Wheel of Time series are its detail -we might meet people that seemed insignificant when we first ran across them in the first book and suddenly find out there is more to them than we would have thought at first glance. The characters, societies and setting are over the course of the nine books worked out, characters grow and develop, and Robert Jordan keeps suspense high by often taking a long time to come back to a certain story thread -even so I have little doubt he will eventually wrap up all loose threads.
Another thing I like from the Wheel of Time series is that while there is definitely a 'good vs evil' theme, common in so many Fantasy stories, Robert Jordan doesn't paint many characters in simple black and white. The heroes aren't flawless and invincible, and many of the 'baddies' have at the very least interesting sides. Many characters are hard to easily place in either of the 'camps'.

My favorites

Favorite characters: Sheriam, Jahar Narishma, Nynaeve, Bela, Tam, Thom, Moghedien.
Least favorite characters: Masema, Fain, Liandrin.
Best book: Winter's Heart
Worst book: Crown of Swords (still pretty good though :))
Favorite plot thread: Cleansing of the Taint, Morgase being on the run, Egwene taking the Tower, Siuan denying she's interested in Gareth Bryne.
Least favorite plot thread: Finding the Bowl of the Winds. Rocked when they used it, but it took soooooooo long to find :P. Also the Shaido, was good but it's time for Rand or someone to beat them now.
Favorite forsaken: Asmodean, Mesaana & Moghedien.
Least favorite forsaken: Rahvin, for what he did to Andor, Morgase, and all.

I also made a hotbar skin with the ancient Aes Sedai symbol, it's on my hotbar skins page, with a couple other, non-WoT skins I made.
And here are some Wheel of Time smileys to use!
