A couple months ago I found an anthology of the Wheel of Time.
I had watched the first 3 or so episodes of the Amazon adaptation and wasn’t super invested into the characters, but wanted to give the book series a shot.
Basically I’ve read about 7 chapters of New Spring and was wondering why literally none of this was brought up in the Amazon series until I realized that adaptation started with Eye of the World. Should I just skip New Spring and come back later? Does this even add to the new reading experience outside of a glance at Tar Vallon and the hierarchy of the Aes Sedai?
I don’t hate this book - but I already know Lan becomes Moirane’s Warder and that she meets/finds the Dragon Reborn.
Edit: I’m reading Chapter 1 of Eye of the World now. Thanks!
two cents: i read new spring first and don’t have any regrets.
It’s not a bad book - it’s just made it harder to pick up WoT to start with I think.
I usually go into fantasy novels not knowing cultures or anything about the world, but these country names are just sliding out of my brain into a memory hole.
