Nah. Somewhere around book number nine in the series, or was it number seventeen, I started thinking: yeah, you can finish this series any time now mate. Just simply stopped reading the author.

Yeah, I don't know how much of that was “Honey, we need to head to Paris for some shopping, hurry up and write another book.” or some such. Why did he ALWAYS describe EVERY female (and most male) characters clothing from head to toe, including any and all weapons and accessories?

I hear you. I only got half way through the 23 hour audiobook of book 1 of that series.
Which was impressive as I pretty much hated it from chapter 1 onwards. It was tedious kack, not much elevated above the lamentable 'Shannara' stuff by Eddings.
I know someone who has the whole WoT series (he brought in bulk) - and he hates it too!
His Conan pastiches are much more interesting, if you can find them.
