After I finished listening to all 42+ hours of Patrick Rothfuss's second epic fantasy book, Wise Man's Fear, I was in the mood for another long fantasy listen, so this classic by Robert Jordan fit the bill, even though its 30+ hours is short by comparison!
I had listened to the first chapter a while back and had a hard time paying attention to the "big fantasy" stuff going on, but once the story settled onto the main band of misfit characters, I was hooked. I particularly enjoyed the way Jordan characterized the horses, as it's clear he (or someone he knew) understood horse personalities.
I know I now have many more long listens ahead of me, but I'll probably space them out by a few months each. This is definitely straight up classic fantasy, which is a nice change of pace from the urban fantasy I tend to read more often.
