I'm new to Dragonmount so I thought I'd say hello.

 

I am a retired sailor and back in the early to mid 1990's, while floating around on various oceans and seas, I began to read the Wheel of Time series. I made it through book 7. Unfortunately book 8 hadn't been written yet. So I waited.

While waiting for the next books I got married and had a child. So life got in the way for a while. We all heard of RJ's illness so we waited more. More deployments came and went. Eventually I forgot about finishing the series.

Then in 2020 I heard they're making the series into a TV show and I though HEY! I should really read these books before the TV show comes out.

So here I am. I re-read books 1 thru 7 and have finished reading 8 and 9. I'm just starting "Crossroads of Twilight." At this rate I should finish the series in a couple of months. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing WoT on Prime.

Welcome to DM, Jaim! I'm so glad you returned to the series and made your way here ?

 

Do you have any favourite characters and/or groups from the series thus far?

Oh that's a difficult question to answer. I like them all. I'm in the middle of "Knife of Dreams" now and pulling for Egwene.

I'm quite partial to Egwene myself ?

Have you had a chance to explore Dragonmount? Do you need any help?

I haven't done much besides reading the articles on the front page. Are there any things that I should look at?

Did you see the photo of Moirane on Aldieb that I found yesterday in TV Guide Magazine?

 

Reading Status: Finishing The Gathering Storm tonight. On to Towers of Midnight.

Well, apart from discussions about the Book & TV series, we also have a Roleplaying side and a Social Side (where we pretend to be Aes Sedai hehehe).

I saw, yes! Love it.

 

 

I see there's even a Bela Fan Club!!!

I  do believe there is, yes ?

Just started "A Memory of Light." Kind of sad that this series is coming to an end. But also looking forward to seeing what happens. AND I am looking forward to not having to dodge spoilers anymore.

Everyone knows Cadsuane is the best, You’ll see. 

 

Lol, anyhow welcome aboard. Get yourself a bunk and make sure to secure your kit and keep it off the deck, things tend to go missing when not secured around here. 

 

?

FINALLY! After 30-ish years. I have finished the entire series!!!
My goal was to finish it before the show comes out November 19th. I made it!!!
No more dodging spoilers.

Also @CaddySedai I see in another thread that you are a Trek fan. Me too, for a long time.

@Jaim Meiker Of course, everything except Enterprise… I sort of have willful amnesia centered around that series lmao.
