In the back of my mind I knew that the series took place over an EXTREMELY short period of time (I read it somewhere), but to see it in the book as Perrin was reflecting over leaving the Two Rivers was kinda a shock. I've been reading since 2000 (a much shorter time span than alit of you) and it always seems that much more time has passed. Is there a general timeline that tells when the major events happen during this two year period?
Eye of the World - occurs in spring
Great Hunt - concludes in the autumn of the same year (skips summer)
Dragon Reborn - winter
Shadow Rising - spring into summer (1 year after leaving Emond's Field)
Fires of Heaven - summer
Lord of Chaos - summer
Crown of Swords - autumn
Path of Daggers - winter
Winter's Heart - winter
Crossroads of Twilight - winter/spring (2 years after leaving Emond's Field)
Knife of Dreams - spring/summer?
Gathering Storm - spring/summer?
Towers of Midnight - spring/summer?
Memory of Light - spring/summer?
