Subject: Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time Series

If you enjoyed The Lord of the Ring you WILL enjoy this series. "The peaceful villagers of Emond's Field pay little heed to rumors of war in the western lands until a savage attack by troll-like minions of the Dark One forces three young men to confront a destiny which has its origins in the time known as The Breaking of the World." From that start in Book 1 to this in the newest, book 12 "The Gathering Storm": "Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready.
"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow."
"New Spring: The Novel" is a prequel to the series. Had I known this I probably would have read it first.
"The World of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time" is a companion book that explains lots of history and what each of the fantastical creatures are. It doesn't advance the story but is a great book that explains lots of things. At the end of each book in the series is a glossary that comes in handy. Unless you have a much better memory than I do you may want to take notes on peoples names...or not. I didn't do this the first time thru but on re-reading book 1 I did and it has helped me in my re-read of book 11 in preparation to jump into the newest. The good news? There will be 2 more books!!!!! I hope you find and enjoy this series as much as I have.
