  • One day I'll get through this series. There is some really good stuff there but it's not an easy read. At this point I feel like it might be too much effort but who knows. I'd like to finish it some day, but I don't really want to re-read the first 6 books again just to re-orient myself in the story.

    • Yeah, it can be brutal.

      When I started reading it, it was like three or four books in. So I'd reread everything as each book came out. By about book 7ish, that was becoming a major undertaking, and I can read most books in a day. Not WOT though, that's a three day commitment even if I wasn't working. They're long and detailed.

      Since the last book came out, I've re-read the entire series once. I sometimes think about doing it again and the answer in my brain keeps saying "naaaaah, dawg, maybe later" lol.

      The series is definitely worth reading end to end at least once though, and the first three are relatively easy to zip through.

      If it was me, I'd go look for one one the synopsis sites or whatever and play catchup that way instead, or read the first few and switch to a synopsis or timeline for the rest.

      • Surely at this point some diehard fan has put together an abridged version? If One Pace can exist surely Wheel of Time Saving can? I'd like to read that one to be honest.

    • Audiobooks at 2x speed seemed to help me. I didn't notice the lag in the story as much.
