Couldn't make it through the second one. It had some interesting parts and a cool world but the actual characters are insufferable. And so much travelling...

That's fair. I've been getting through them slowly. It's definitely picked up a lot in the third book (and started focusing on Perrin more, which is great cause he's me favorite character)

Book 2 took me longer than book one to get through cause, as you said, it's a lot of traveling. Book 3 has a lot of travelling too (as does the whole series to my understanding), but I'm enjoying the character development as well as >!the girls time at Tar Valen!<.
