I'm reading Dune again at the moment but I won't be doing my 4th or 5th complete read through this time around. I always like Dune Messiah but God Emperor was always the hardest to manage.

Lol yes, God Emperor was a slog, but I felt it was the first succeeding book that had the grandeur of the original

So i finished The wheel of time series. 6 months isn't too bad for 14 large books.
I enjoyed it more the first time of reading it (obvious) and i doubt will ever read it again.
Its has many good parts but Jordan did have a bad habit and just writing waffle, there are many peaks and troughs but to a new reader, keep at it.
The pacing definitely picks up for the last 3 books by Sanderson.

You reread all of WOT? That's some going! Once was plenty for me. They're fantastic fantasy books but as you say, probably should be half the length!
 
Finished Daevabad trilogy which was brilliant. Had a nice palate cleanser of Rendezvous with Rama which I've read before but is one of my favourites. Had a brief consideration of reading the rest of the Rama books despite their tonal differences and drop in quality but decided against it.

Instead started Priest of Bones by Peter Mclean. Follows a former gangster returning from war and trying to rebuild his crime empire. Basically Goodfellas meets grimdark fantasy like The Blade Itself or Prince of Thorns .
