Once you start you won’t be able to stop! Some books seem to drag for short periods but it is all about how to weave a tale and get you totally into it. Robert Jordan doesn’t just tell a story, he tells a story with a history and in telling the history he foretells the future. You will not regret reading this series.
Even though he pasted away before his last book was written the author and his wife( his editor) did a fantastic job wrapping it all up, using his manuscripts as a guide. I remember waiting for each of the books to get published and buying the day it was available and secluding myself for days until I had read the entire book cover to cover.
R.I.P. Mr. Jordan your legacy will live on for a very long time! Millions will enter your world and once there, go back again and again.
Thanks again for this site. It really is so helpful. I keep hearing how great this series in and I wanted to see the proper reading order. I’m still scared to start because it’s so HUGE!
