The prequel is best saved for a reread, or perhaps after book ten.

I love my completed Wheel of Time series.. R.I.P. Robert Jordan...

What can I say? This is a wonderful book. It originally began as a short story in a book of short stories with other authors (including Steven King) and was loved so much Mr. Jordan expanded on it. It was great to go back to the beginning and expand on things learned only later in the books. It fills out the back story and yet can be picked up and read by someone not familiar with the Wheel of Time universe. I always wanted to see more of the relationship between Moiraine and Siuan. A must read for fans of the series. See how it all began!

I read this book two years ago. It was fast paced(no RJ normal style). It was a breath of fresh air to life. He brought to life heroes. The days we live I'm could use some heros. If you are a Jordan fan, then this is must have. Stop what you are doing.....go buy the book....settle back in a quiet place and return to the world we can only dream of. It will be worth your Time!

New Spring provided details into The Wheel of Time that I had questions about for a while.
