Hrm. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 05/01/2010 01:30:55 AM
I don't think you even need to read a plot summary because the book only has a few POV's. I hadn't read a WOT novel since KoD and I wasn't lost at all when I read Gathering Storm.

Then you can start your reread all over again!


Sanderson also repeats/reiterates stuff from previous books to clue you in on more subtle things that might be happening.


Like, to a degree where it's going to piss me off if I keep re-reading the rest of the books prior to TGS? I know that I was seriously annoyed that it seemed like 3/4 of TFoH seemed to be reiteration/repetition to "catch me up" with stuff I had just read in the preceding weeks...

Edit: TFoH, not TSR...
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

At least read the plot summaries and KoD first, to make sure you're up to date. *NM* Lord Haart - 04/01/2010 03:42:51 PM 266 Views
I've read KoD twice (when it came out and then a year or so later) Sareitha Sedai - 04/01/2010 03:50:19 PM 570 Views
