Searched her name, but didnt find much. Is this like the bible of WOT, or is it something else? found an online cartoon looking map of a bigger area. Dont plan on getting it till this weekend. Any reviews?

It's OK.  Gives some info about things not covered in the books.

 

It's written as a 'history' compiled by a later scholar working from fragmentary and sometimes conflicting information.  So, some of the info it 'reports' is just speculation based on the 'scholar's' best guess. ie. it's a work of fiction, too.

 

More authoritative than posts found on any website, but not absolutely authoritative, since a few things in it have been disproven by the books themselves.
