I’ve read these books 7 times.

Good god! I love about half of those books but at least 2 of them I found to be such a slog I despaired of ever finishing the series.

So you’re saying you were tempted to...rage quit?

Bravo!

Though I suppose it was more of the opposite.

Is snooze quit a thing?

I was fine up until book 10 I think it was after that my interest faded.

I'm glad I stuck it out. Sanderson finished the series strong.

Yeah that middle slog isn’t called “the slog” by fans for nothing.

I usually skim it on a reread. It’s probably only Eye Of The World I’ve actually read 7 times.

But hey, I’ve also read The Silmarillion a few times, and I’ve read every word of Tolkien’s appendixes, so...I may be an outlier.

Now that is brass tacks you got there

Not a fan of your Eldritch Knight option. I agree they could use something though. Maybe choose one wizard cantrip, and you're able to cast it a number of times a day equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum one)?

How much do you value a fighting style? It's not worth a whole feat. +2 to damage is kinda worth +2 to hit. +2 attack stat is +1 to hit, damage, saves, checks, and some extra stuff. It's maybe half a feat.

Magic Initiate gives 2 cantrips and 1 1st level spell slot. So giving 2 cantrips and more stuff would be worth more than Fighting Style.

I think a fighting style is worth 2^(-1/2) feats.
