"I've begun re-reading "The Wheel of Time" in preparation for the forthcoming first volume of The Memory of Light, the last part of "The Wheel of Time" being finished from Robert Jordan's (Requiescat In Pace) notes and plans. New Spring is the prequel to the series, and I would not recommend it for someone just beginning the series - it takes away some of the mystery of the characters encountered early in the first book (The Eye of the World). My suggestion would be to read that first, *then* read New Spring."
"I very much enjoyed this prequel to the WOT series. I think Jordan got back to style of writing that made me love the first few books in the series. It was also really great to see Moiraine again, one of my favourite characters. I wish she played a larger role in the other books. I thought this book did a great job of filling us in on the beginnings of Moiraine and Lan and how they came to start out on their quest to find the Dragon Reborn.
And as satisfying as it was to get all those extra details and see everything tied in so nicely to the WOT series, this book does well as a stand alone read. So if you're not sure you really want to read the other eleven or so books in the series this one would be a great way to see if you'd enjoy them without really feeling the need to go on just to see what happens if you don't like it. And a word of warning to those who do go on to read the rest...the series has no end and the author recently died.
This was also the first book I've done in audio and I have to say I'm a fan. It's the lazy man's way and I love that I can listen while I work!"
"I have begun the process of re-reading The Wheel of Time series for the ... goodness, well, I've re-read it several times. While New Spring came out some time after the series had started, it is actually a prequel, detailing how Moiraine became Aes Sedai, the beginnings of her quest to find the Dragon Reborn, and how she met her warder, Lan.
I enjoyed this because you get to see a young, inexperienced Moiraine as she attempts to begin her quest. While Lan is very similar, you can see a little bit of youth in him, although, I get the impression that Moiraine gives him a better sense of purpose.
To see how characters come together before you originally met them, is a nice juxtaposition. It would have been nice for Jordan to write another prequel, perhaps, giving a little more detail on the next 16-18 years before The Eye of the World (first book in the series) picks up.
Jordan is a master storyteller and world builder."
"I didn't know this was a prequel until I have finished reading it. I found it rather interesting. The beginning of the book is a bit confusing and Ii thought this would be another one of those books filled with hundreds of characters (I don't mind that of J.R.R. Tolkien stories) and it would be harder to keep up. That was not the case. I cannot wait to read the rest of them."
