Hi Two Wongs Send a noteboard - 14/10/2010 08:45:24 AM
*can't even remember the title*

So do I do a complete re-read of the whole WoT series (again!) or will some of the later books do? Are there some good posts hereabouts people can point me at, to assist in getting me back into "WoT" mode (whereby one can prattle about side-plots and obscure characters without needing to google "wheel of time who is Rand" )?

Aside from 13D, encyclopedia-wot is great as a quick reference. They have PoV summaries for each chapter. It all depends on how long it's been since you read wot. IMO, you probably don't need to spend too much 'review' time since Sanderson often references stuff from past books when they're necessary to understand something (at least, for things he wants you to absolutely understand... there are plenty of things he leaves to the investigative reader as well).

Oh, and hi Again

Hello, pleased to make your acquaintance


It's been a long time between books (Knife of Dreams). But, with every book release I used to re-read the entire series, so I have more than a passing acquaintence with their content... And although the earlier books are my favourite of the series there's only so many times one can re-read them in any given twenty year period

Thanks for the heads up and welcome - I'll be chasing Linda's 13th Depository religiously but I'll check out the site you recommended for sure

just read Knife of Dreams and The Gathering Storm *NM* Deadsy - 12/10/2010 04:55:19 PM 389 Views
Yeah, this. Go back to Winters Heart if you really want to, but that should be enough *NM* beetnemesis - 12/10/2010 06:56:19 PM 391 Views
That would entail reading CoT again *NM* Myrdhyn - 12/10/2010 08:25:13 PM 367 Views
Oh Light! I'd never suggest anyone torture themselves that way, Ever! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 13/10/2010 02:46:39 AM 370 Views
you can just skip CoT, nothing happens in it *NM* Jim - 13/10/2010 04:23:50 AM 393 Views
Good point *NM* Myrdhyn - 13/10/2010 07:35:50 PM 368 Views

It's more that I spent years hanging to find out... Two Wongs - 14/10/2010 08:48:21 AM 894 Views
I caught up with KoD and TGS in unabridged audio format. Worked pretty well. *NM* Zalis - 13/10/2010 05:26:06 PM 477 Views
I speed-read, and at the moment that would be a necessity. Two Wongs - 14/10/2010 08:49:57 AM 1000 Views
