View original postI just started a re-read a few weeks ago, started with NS then EoTW and have gotten to the point in TGH where Rand has just met Selene (i.e. Lanfear) in the Mirrorworld.

I'm literally going out on my front porch to sit and start my reread. I'm going to skip NS this time around though. This will be around my 5th or 6th reread and first since AMoL came out.


View original postI'd forgotten what a really good book EoTW really was! It's been a long time since I've done a re-read so refreshing in my mind why I fell in love with the series in the first place has been great.

I think I'm going to feel the same joy once I start reading it. Hopefully for awhile I can forget about the dread that is the knowledge the BS books lay at the end of the journey.


I used to re-read the whole series every time a new book came out, but have not since KOD was released. I struggled to get through the BSand books so I'm also dreading getting to the end of Jordan's work.

I started a new sub-thread below with some early observations from this re-read, funny how I am already starting to see things slightly differently than I had in previous re-reads, probably because I'm far enough removed to do so!

Reading NS first was interesting this time because there are some interesting omissions from EoTW when you realize how dumb Moiraine seems

I can't say for sure, but I think it might have been a little deliberate or at least subconscious. Cannoli - 05/11/2016 09:03:19 PM 1612 Views
