I don't know if this belongs here or in the other forum, but more people seem to post here so I chose this one. Sue me.

 

Ok, I used to be a huge fan of this series. I even joined that role playing story-thing online. However, I've only read each book once, and it's been a long time since I've really thought about them. My interest has been re-peaked by the proximity of the new book.

 

My problem is: I hardly remember anything. I recall some scenes in vivid detail, and I have a feel for the overall plot, but I was browsing these forums and people reference things that I can't seem to remember happening. I'm just afraid I'll be totally lost when I try to read the new one. Does anyone have any helpful ways to refresh on WOT plotlines, without resorting to rereads? I have a busy schedule, and I don't think I can justify rereading 11 900+ page books. If all else fails I will probably attempt a reread, but I'd like to see my other options first.

 

Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

You know that if you read 5 or 6 chapters a day, you'll have finished the series by the time the new book comes out, right? That's not even an hour's reading a day.

 

Just thought I would throw that in there, before someone comes along and helps you out  :D

The problem isn't really the time commitment (well, that is a problem). It's more that I've moved on to other literature, and I already have a huge reading list ahead of me. I'd like to reread them, and I know it's certainly possible, but new books that I haven't read yet take precedence over rereads.

 

Thanks for the planning tip, though.

Encyclopaedia-wot.org has chapter-by-chapter summaries.

 

I believe there are also book-by-book recaps on Dragonmount somewhere.

I'll investigate both of those, thanks.

It feels like there will always be new things to find. One of my favorite things about the series.

Leigh Butler has a re read on Tor.com, but she won't be finished before TGS is released.

Kat, you really should promote this one
